What are your predictions for this weekends 1st Round of the WSBK at Phillip Island?
New teams and New Riders should be very interesting.

Good luck trying to predict a winner outta that lot, half the field could easily do it.
Gonna be an awesome season!

thats easy - CHECA!!!

**lostinflyz** · 25th February 2011, 18:51

ay checa to clean up if his bike stays on two wheels, the valves don't go site seeing and the electrons stay within the copper bits.

2nd will be one of the fucking bert bikes i reckon.

top 3 will be Rea,Haslam and Biaggi. Hopefully in that order but that is my top 3 which ever way round.

**BMWST?** · 27th February 2011, 20:02

well.........

Checa Biaggi,Haslam,Checa,Biaggi,Melandri.(Ducati,Aprili a)x2,BMW,Yamaha.Looks like its gonna be all on all season.

looking to be a good season... don't think biaggi is going to let to many pass him on the go... but who knows. I can't wait to be honest for the season to start, sick of rugby and cricket... !

Checa Biaggi,Haslam,Checa,Biaggi,Melandri.(Ducati,Aprili a)x2,BMW,Yamaha.Looks like its gonna be all on all season.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad haslam got that podium

Wouldn't discount melandri, he is hungry for it!!

Troy corser has the pace to begin with but I think unfortunately his age is showing (he did look surprisingly old from close ups on the grid, more than his years)

Outstanding riding from checa when his bike was sometimes 20km slower down the front straight!!

**trailblazer** · 27th February 2011, 21:36

that was some awesome racing. Can't wait till round 2.

Still think Biaggi has the bike to do the job but Melandri looked great on the Yamaha as did Laverty who's reporting a couple of false neutrals causing his problems in he second race. Haslam again outperforming his bike for the third year in a row but looked like he was working hard to be there.

Looks like it could be a great year.

**NZsarge** · 28th February 2011, 07:52

That was mint alright! And the Super Sports frigin' rocked!

**Crasherfromwayback** · 28th February 2011, 07:57

Ducati will be well glad Checa is riding their bikes. Cause it's gonna be the only races they win.

i hope bmw comes right this year. Haslam deserves to be on a competitive bike that is easy to ride like the Ducati,Aprilia and even the yamaha's looked like they were having an easier time than the Bmw's.

Well that definately was a great start to the WSBK Season with Checa riding at his absolute best on the Ducati with Biaggi chasing him down all the way to the finish. Lets hope that we see alot more of this close Racing throughout the Season which will keep us all on the edge of our seats.
Anyone find out why there were 3 bikes who all had flat back tyres in the 600 Race while Racing?.
