Informed sources say that it is likely that the Ducati 1098 in 1200cc form will be legal for World Superbike next year. Negotiations between the manufacturers and the series continue and there's really no telling what sort of language the rules will include, but several sources with knowledge of the situation say they won't be surprised if the 1200cc Twins will carry extra weight and have other performance limiting rules in place when the 1098 hits the WSBK grid.
