I expect history to repeat itself in WSBK and the 2026 Ducati V4R will be “performance levelled” before it turns a wheel on a track. That’s the only way I can see the other manufacturers getting close to Nicola Bulega. The cynic in me sees Honda, Yamaha and Bimota demanding similar limitations for BSB. I’m not a fan of Scot Redding but if I’m wrong about the likelihood of construction rules intervention, I don’t think you need to look any further for the 2026 champion. Andy
When you get to interact with “famous” people in a social situation, some you can take to straight away, some you might have to work at it little bit and some you just don’t gel with. For me, Scott fell into the latter category. Andy
