    $150 to get way more coverage on your computer is a better deal than $1200 a year for that bull shit sky tv. Have never had sky and never will it is a have

    You mean ''repeat everything to death TV"? Im inclined to agree and for me its only saving grace is History and Living channels. Also the odd movie on Rialto and Vibe channels.

    For that much you can just subscribe to what you want to watch on the net and still have change left over

    Why anyone bothers with sky at that price is beyond me

    There is an interview with Erik Buell here: http://www.motopodcast.com

    During the interview he says the required number of bikes are locked up awaiting inspection. He also says other things so it is worth the listen.

    I'd like to see EBR do well because at the moment there's only 2 nationalities represented in the manufacturers - Japan and Italy. Also, WSBK is very European centric. Next year is better than other years in this respect with 5 our of 14 races being outside of Europe.

    Its going to be an interesting year for sure, new riders, 'new' makes and new tracks. I reckon Alex Lowes will be a bit of a surprise for some of the more established riders because of how hungry that boy is. I'm really looking forward to it, I just hope coverage gets sorted one way or the other soon...

    I think Sam would surprise everyone if he did well in WSBK in 2014. Particularly his brother Alex...

    You seem to forget the simple equation that means they'll be in - Italian manufacturer + Italian organisers = Assured entry!
