Who do you think is a better rider? Colin Edwards or Troy Ballis. (Is that how you spell it?)

I gotta go with Bayliss on this one.. The guy's an old bastard (in roadracing terms) and hasn't been riding for very long at all. I think his first race was only 5 or 6 seasons ago! Colin's been racing in the premier classes for his entire life (not to take anything away from Colin.. He is an ex-world champ after all!)

Bayliss is by far the better rider this year and last....he has won the first 4 races in WSBK this year and that has never been done before in the history of the WSBK, although Edwards was 2nd in both races at Phillip Island. It's true that he just started racing in 1992 and he'll be turning 33 this year..so he got a late start...but better late than never! Can you tell i'm a big Bayliss fan?

Not to take anything away from Edwards, I believe he's an exceptional rider w/ great talent too. I just don't think Bayliss can be stopped this year..He'll probably jump to MotoGP next year w/ the new rule changes.

I got to go with Bostrom.....umm...he's just had a bad start this season
...but I guess if it had to be btween those 2, I'd go with Bayliss, 4 race wins 1 superpole (2 if it weren't for a little mistake) I think we'll see Edwards comeing back strong though
