WSBK » Spies leaves AMA, WSBK beckons.

Jeff says "it should have a few exciting races and reignite WSBK as it was getting a little old and dull" I say,are you having a fecking joke or what lol? Do you watch WSB on a regular basis? If you did (and i'm not having a go even if it sounds like i am) then your opinion might be somewhat different. Did you watch the last round with Nori racing Biaggi and then racing Troy Bayliss in the next race. How about the Monza races? 0.058 was the margin in the first race and 0.009 was the margin in the 2nd. There 30 or more bikes on the grid depending on wild cards,not to mention how may there will be next year. IMHO WSB is where it is at entertainment-wise, can't wait till next year..even better

... trying to learn all those tracks. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'll be gobsmacked if Yamaha Motor Italia do it. Chris you say the Duke has just about had it's day? It's in it's first year and has done rather well and whilst i admit that the 4's have caught up somewhat i certainly wouldn't be so quick as to write it off given Ducati's reputation in WSB and it's penchant for winning titles over the last 20 years or so. My heart wants Nori on the Yamaha cos i'm a big fan of both. My head wants him on whatever will get him the title next year Go #41! and good luck to Shakey wherever you end up

I'm mates with a lad called Kazuki in Japan and he's a good friend of Nori's. I emailed him two weeks ago and still no reply and i'm sure if he knew (and was allowed to say anything) he would have told me by now. Reading what Nitro Nori has been posting on here it was like reading my mind lol, i honestly think that everything will shake itself out once Nori has decided where he is going. I think Ducati will have fairly deep pockets as the only one paid more than Nori over the last couple of years has been Bayliss in WSB. If Nori stay with Yam then i reckon Shakey is a shoe in. Spies is a bad idea as i've already posted, nought against him just against two rookie's developing a bike while...

MOTOGP » Bridgestone 'respects' single tyre decision.

I'd chuckle if it went to Michelin after the mid-season swap by DP. They still missing half a point though as to make the racing better they need more bikes on the grid...Suzuki and Kawasaki should at least match what Ducati and Yamaha put out on the grid

WSBK » Corser completes BMW 'dream team'.

Yamaha Motor Italia can't be going for two rookies surely? Daft idea given they will be developing a new, last thing they want is someone learning the tracks on top of that. Hodgson would be an option because at least he knows most of the tracks, anyone got any idea who else might be in the frame? Maybe Nori is staying afterall lol

WSBK » Bayliss: Either win... or crash trying.

It's well known that Nori and Troy are very good mates, they even swapped leathers with each other after the end of the season at Magny Cours last year as a mark of their friendship. Gonna miss the two of them battling together and i just hope the last couple of rounds will give us all some entertainment to remember for years to come Go #41! and just this once Go #21!

BSB » HM Plant to remain in BSB next season.

Tend to agree regarding Haslam, good but not great. He's had the best bikes in BSB and hasn't translated that into a title although he came mighty close previously. The fact that he was the rider with the most experience of Donington and yet his team mate had the better results says it all (and yes i know Leon was taken out in one race but he only got 8th in the other).

WSBK » Parkalgar confirms Jones Donington tribute.

There's been a big drive to get some Jonesy t-shirts sorted for the weekend, hopefully with all profits going to charity. I'll be painting up an England flag with an #18 alongside my usual Nori #41 flag. Am sure he's gonna be well remembered and no doubt there'll be a few tears along with many cheers! There's a group on facebook that was started by his cousin, easy to find if you have an account

MOTOGP » Lorenzo ends four months of misery.

Well chuffed for J-Lo, a much needed boost to his confidence.

WSBK » Hofmann: Aprilia will cause a surprise!

I don't mind if they bring the 250's over but not as a makeweight for GP taking 600's into their fold, prototype's or not we all (well i think i do so that makes it all of us lol) know what they're up to. Should make GP 1 cylinder 200, 2 cylinder 400 and 4 cylinder 800 (my mates idea not mine)....well actually they should keep the 125's and 250's as they are but if they gonna mess about with it that seems reasonable. WSBK is kicking butt in the entertainment stakes this year and that's without all the nice new shiny bikes on the grid next year, not to mention the chance of 3 or 4 Brit's to support too...Brits or not though it'll still be Go#41! for me
