That'll be another one in front of the Kawasakis.

I know it's a step,but maybe more of a token gesture? I have to wonder what difference 250rpm will make,but what do I know.

It's also penalising the other Ducati riders who aren't running away at the front.

They cut the Kawasaki 250rpm and a Yamaha won a championship.

At that level I assume it makes a big difference.

We'll see. It would be cool to get a few races that lasted longer than the first half a dozen laps.
