    WSB Champ

    Hmmm, you lads are being very quiet about this. Must be very embarrassing for all you Sugookie riders out there. Toseland's bike isn't even a real factory ride to rub salt in the wound.

    GO THE MIGHTY HONDA!!!

    Actually none of the Japanese teams are official factory efforts. Alstare Sugookie (sic) is run out of Belgium. Kawasaki is run as a tax dodge out of San Marino and Yamaha Belgarda is Italian. Ten Kate Honda is run out of a show room in Holland. Ten Kate do ALL their own development work though. They just get crated bikes and do their stuff.

    Mr Toseland deserves it though.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    But didn't Nori put in a brilliant late season charge - once again the bridesmaid - is he going to be the 2000's Aaron Slight?

    He was lucky to get enough points after being punted off track by Lanzi and the Ducati in the first race when he had done well and scored pole.

    Well done JT, well ridden, very well deserved. He didn't really have the bike under him on some race meets - as witnessed again at Magny Cours - but he made it count when he did have a good package and performed well enough when he didn't. Still, feel sorry for Nitro Nori as well - he really deserves a WSBK crown I reckon.

    What do you think it's going to be like next year? I have a funny feeling that the Ducatis will absolutely romp. Rule changes in favour of their V twin (when they're already pretty darn competitive) will own the opposition.
    Soapbox house of cards and glass, so don't go tossing your stones around.
    You musta been.... high. You musta been...

    As a longtime Suzuki owner/rider, I would still prefer to have seen Nori clean it up on the mighty R1

    Agreed,never uinderstood why the japs dont tell Ducati to piss off and have have there own super bike series,am picking alot more people would watch that than Ducati racing.........buggered if i know,maybe them and Buell could have there own little get-together,each time one of them won the other could stamp there feet and cry like greg murphy does and they would change the rules to suit
    Be the person your dog thinks you are...

    But Alstare Suzuki has financial and technical backing from the factory. Yamaha Belgarda has financial backing from the factory plus technical backup from Yamaha Racing. Kawasaki also have financial and technical backing from the factory. Ten Kate get limited financial backing from Honda Europe (not the factory) and no backup at all from HRC, to the point they even canned the HRC traction control system in favour of the English PI unit.

    And of course - just to rub it in further to all the Suzuki fanboys - the World Supersport championship went to Ten Kate and Kenan Sofuoglu, who finished with more than twice the points of the Broc Parkes on his R6. 13 races: 12 podiums including 8 wins.
