Wsbk 2014

[Shaun Harris]

What this fulla done said. Do we know why there is no longer a SA round? Politics or somesuch bollocks??

Track conditions not up to standard

[Shaun Harris]

Fuck it. I really want to see Bimota in there, mainly next year. They've got a very good bike, better than the BMW which has the same engine. Lets hope they can get back on track and into the championship full time.

They are looking to do a big push into the BSB scene Shayne

Tonight coming in on Sky at 2000hrs first leg and WSS.

If you didn't watch the above try and catch the WSS race at least, great racing and a World Champion at the end of it.

Im hopeing PJ Jacobsen gets moved up to WSB next year, when he moved from 600 to SB in the BSB scene he rocked real quick on a SB considering his past history

Oh ok, I haven't seen him on a SB , just the 600s.
I see he has the Aussie guy behind him,Andrew Pitt.

He surprised me and many others on the Tyco Suzuki SB in the UK

Van der Mark has signed to ride two years in SBK. Significantly the contract is not with Ten Kate but with Honda. That could make his stated ambition to move to MotoGP in three years a tad easier to attain.

Mike van der Mark is something REALLY special.
He has won every championship he has been in over the past few years and the Suzuka 8hr at first attempt. Really special.
Great to see another leading rider out of Netherlands at last.

Read it here first: If the Honda is OK next year, he will win WSBK in first attempt.

Bit of a problem with that though as the current CBR is now really long in the tooth. Last year the CBR was farmed out to a Brit firm to try and extend its life by improving the electronics so there can't be too many options remaining. There is still no sign of the promised V4 and unless that, or a new CBR, appears at the upcoming round of shows next years riders may be struggling.

[steveyb]

Yeah, that's right. Hence the caveat. Even if the new bike does appear, it will take a season to sort it out.

ps don't forget BSB this weekend too,check timetables.

Hmmmmm, team orders? I kinda gotta agree with Steve Martin, if you can't beat your team mate you don't deserve to win

[Bender]

That whole team orders thing sucked. I want to see racing, not the fastest rider pulling back to let someone through. Look at Formula 1 with the racing between Hamilton and Rosberg. Top stuff.

Googliani and Sykes didn't win/come third in that race. Not really.

I bloody hate that.
