Looking back at history, the greatest riders have always calmly accepted the changing times. Bayliss, who claimed three championships on a red Ducati, saying 'the passion doesn't change' - that's the core of this sport. Style shifts, business grows fatter, but the thirst for riding alone remains unchanged across ages. Good words.
