Some interesting reading here from the first proper test session of the season.

I wouldn't have expected young Leon Haslam as being as quick this soon on the GSXR and frankly, he's a rider I've never taken much interest in, prefering to assume he's only there becasue of his Dads acheiments. Obviously I know fuck all and I look forward to cheering him on this season.

Thought Toseland said what Spies did last year wasn't that special?

[Tony.OK]

Haslam had a few good finishes last season on the Stiggy Honda I thought, don't know how their bike compared to the Ten Kate machine though (guessing not as good).

Rea is gonna come guns blazing I reckon, he showed alot more patience towards the end of last season..........gonna be a great season!!

Honda FTW!

I really hope that Toseland gets the learn good and proper!!!! :crybaby:

Interesting to see that Yamaha is almost nowhere to be seen in Supersport with Kawasaki and Triumph showing face inside the top 10.

[roadracingoldfart]

And Max Biaggi is the man capable of taking the crown ....... in my (un)-biased opinion.

Is Max Neucughtnerburger (sp) fit ? if so hes fast and will have a point to prove after last year (position defence mode)


Paul.

Toseland is a whinging tit. Who cares what he thinks?!!

C'mon Jimmy!!!!!!!! He the man!!!!!!!!

Whenever I watch Haslam, I'm trying to figure out how his knee "flapping" helps on downchanges :D although, he seems to have it more under control lately.

I think Haslam is Suzukis best chance at a title, its been a loooong time between drinks, lets all huddle and pray!

But he's gonna win the Kawasaki Cup......poor bastard must have been desperate to accept that ride, why anyone would choose to run kawasaki's at that level is beyond me, no-one seems to be able to make 'em work.

Ummm .... no job for 2010 ..... or get paid to ride a bike where there is absolutely no expectation to win or place ..... sheesh, tough decision.
Imagine it's not what he wanted though, poor bugga ... motogp to a dud wsb.

So are we going to get a Kiwi round of WSBK at Hampers this year?! So I can wear my Union Jack shorts and knotted hankie on me head, plus socks with jandals of course !!!:Punk:

Saw the f5000s there last week and if they get WSBK on that track I will be VERY (pleasantly) surprised........................
