Forgive me if someone's mentioned this already, but whatever Ducati did to make the 2007 Duke the best bike out there, they had a massive advantage that year that no other manufacturer had, ie, Bridgestone.
So dominant were the tyres over the Michelins, that Rossi demanded them for 2008. Most commentators said at that the time, probably only Rossi could make the new tyres work for him in such a short space of time. Edwards as I remember was on Michelin for 2008
