WSBK » WSBK Top ten riders - Second place.

I have gone off him since Donington, but agree that as far as a man that can wring a bikes neck goes, he is awesome.

MOTOGP » Rossi vs Bayliss in Qatar?

I think Rossi would stand a higher than average chance of doing the double let alone a top 5 position. I believe Doohan won all the WSBK races he entered as a wild card (except one where he crashed) although he wasnt a GP rider at the time. Bring it on

WSBK » WSBK Top ten riders - Fifth place.

He was like that in the BSB as well - I think he won the last 2 races in his first year then somebody lit the blue touch paper and he was off. Guess he takes a while to learn tracks and get comfortable.

WSBK » Suzuki pair pleased with K9 progress.

Japanese engineers were first alerted to the fact that K9 wasnt a dog after it failed to fetch a frisbie, bone, or stick, and showed no interest in marking territory even when parked next to a lamp post. It did however, give the post van a run for its money...

WSBK » WSBK Top ten riders – Seventh place.

Max had a hugely disapointing year, although doubtless the wrist break had a lot to do with his overall placing at the end of the year. Love him or hate him it would be nice to see him back at the sharp end this year (2009).

WSBK » Fabrizio: I can go quicker...

Fabrizio is fairly consistent, for example we know that he will usually crash or underperform in the first race and then come good in the second one and challenge the front runners by the final lap In America its hard to say what happened - the suzuki just seemed on a different level to anything else allowing Spies and Mladin to dominate even ex world champions. However Spies seems to be more than a one trick pony and shows real potential on the world stage, pity Mladin couldnt have come over for a final blast as well!

F1 » Williams lose sponsor, still anti-customer cars.

Have to agree with you AL, the banks are taking the p*** sponsoring F1 after being bailed out by us tax payers - and they still make you jump through hoops for a morgtage.

BSB » Martin stays at Hydrex, no BSB.

Guidor, my wife and I were discussing the exact same thing only yesterday - stick to the race tracks Guy and build on your speed.

MOTOGP » Jacque: It was a big impact.

Poor old Jaque gets all the pain and no fame, although at least while being tester he can pretend to be leading a race by miles.

MOTOGP » Jacque: It was a big impact.

Oh dear! a second slower than Suzuki, Kawasaki should just pack up and donate the money saved to charity.
