[Ducati] Valencia WSBK *** Spoiler ***

[Barry]

I humbly disagree with the last statement about Baylis saying he was sorry
about the other riders crashing out. I am a racer and when you are involved
in a race you do the best you can , but you know when you are beat, and to
acquire 2nd place as he did, he knew he really didn't deserve it because he
was truly beaten by some better set ups for that race, I could be wrong, but
I totally understood how he felt about Max who could of had his very 1st
super bike win, especially when Baylis has had so many wins in his career
already.

Its very hard to ride sub par in a race when your always doing the best of
your abilities for the bike set up and the track. In my opinion.
