Yeah, good to see Stauffer and Glen Allerton mixing it up with the big boys.

Hmmmm, what MotoGP wouldn't give: 2nd qualifying and top 9 bikes all within 1 second, and 6 different manufactuers in the top 8.

Having watched the first round, there's promise of an interesting season.

Agreed, bit of a bummer for Ducati though. What with Badovinni out and Checa's crash, that was a bit disappointing, hope he's alright.

I dunno Gaz, if Manu was helping you with a decent warm-up I reckon you'd be raring to go!

Thanks for the link.

And I reckon this has to be one of the coolest shot ever. (From the link)

Quite a few good photos all through that publication.

Not about WSBK per say, but it is about superbikes. More specifically an article comparing the 1980 CB750 to the 2005 CBR1000RR.

Now I wasn't even around in 1980, much less watching superbike racing, but it was an interesting read to hear how Spencer rode those early superbikes. May bring back memories for some of you old cogers.
