With Alvaro Bautsta switching to Honda we were interested in learning what we can expect from the Spaniard this year. The switch from the Ducati V4 to the Honda Fireblade is a risky one for Bautista for lots of reasons. The biggest reason though is the change in engine character that he'll have to learn to understand.
Switching bikes isn't easy for any rider but we spoke to some that have had to make the same change as Bautista...
