Troy Bayliss immediately springs to mind although his riding style was totally different - more hanging off the bike than on it!
Taking Bautista out of the equation the racing at Catalunya was pretty good with lots of scraps going on I thought.
Tom Sykes just hasn't had any luck since getting his nose out of joint at Kawasaki with JR 's arrival on the scene.
