    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    And I have heard said that WSBK lacks quality. That line up looks even better than MotoGP sometimes.

    Be good to see a few full time Americans in there though, an Kiwis for that matter.
    Go on someone, go find the money!!!!

    So some of the riders are a bit older, so what?
    Our obsession with youth, as in MotoGP, just serves to alienate people. If you are good enough, you are good enough.

    Hate to tell you this...but the old cunts are in Superbikes simply because they're not GOOD enough to be in Moto GP.

    I think Eugene Laverty appears to be in the Pata Aprilia team? Looks like that was what he was riding in recent testing?

    I see that there is a possibility that my wish to see Bautista on competitive machinery may come true.

    It is reported that HCR head Nakamoto san wants Bautista on a factory spec LCR bike. Should that happen we may not miss Marco's fireworks as much as we otherwise may have. Bautista is eminently capable of keeping things interesting.

    Gp seems to be the cream of the crop for sure & the way they structure and hang onto key riders from the "juniors" right thru the ranks is impressive.

    Starting to all fall into place now or not?
    Bautista to stay with Suzuki, duPuniet to replace Elias at LCR, Gresini to have Iannone on a privateer Honda (effectively replacing Aoyama) as a rookie can he race a "factory" bike? Barbera to Pramac, so, still one ride available at Pramac? One at Aspar on a CRT bike? Sics factory Honda?
    Are the CRT teams testing with the 1000's on Tuesday at Valencia?

    Regarding WSBK it was mentioned that Chaz Davies would be team mate to Max Biaggi on a Aprilia now.
