World Superbike Season kicks off this weekend in Qatar at Losail Int. Circuit.

Personally can't wait really.
Although WSB isnt really my favourite bike series, need it for my fantasy roadrace!

Anybody else follow it?

Don't you find F1 boring?

I do, it used to be better like years ago but now just rubbish, in my opinion.
I'll stick to bikes thanks:)... Unless it Touring Cars, love watching them.

Mmm he did run away with it in the end but it is still great to watch. It is such close racing. Love it.

Plus James Toseland (WSB Champ) is going into GP so it will be great! So many great riders i really don't know who will get it. JT or Valentino i hope.:)

Yeah I can't wait for MotoGP
Yesterday's race was really interesting!
LOL at Haga though, and I'd like to have seen Bayliss' face when he stole the victory off biaggi.
I've always been a Suzuki supporter, and yesterday my boys did it for me! Neukirchner and Nieto were quite legendary.

Do you have a fantasy roadrace team?

BSB on 6th April :)

Nah i don;t have a fantasy road race team :(

And a good start for biaggi though, as much as i hate him...

Shame about Haga he was my favourite to win the season lol. But was his won fault really.
And how about those Ducatis? Lol Another great season for them i predict, but who couldn't?

And i'm not really a huge BSB fan but i'll probs watch it anyway....

I reckon Biaggi will have it this season or maybe Haga.
But you see in the second race Bayliss and Corser tyres? Must have had a problem to back off that much!

Bayliss' last season so I think he'll go out to win it.
Bayliss did come reasonably high in the second race, Corser was definitely having tyre issues.
I think the thing about the factory Ducati (Bayliss') is they have obviously tuned it to such an extent, it really does need finetuning, and they dont usually get the race set up comfortable for a good few races, probably more in Bayliss' case as he missed the majority of winter testing remember.

I think once the factory bikes get going those satellite ducatis will drop a few places.
But i'd say thats why the suzuki flew, because the K8 is hardly "new" as suzuki didn't release a GSXR1000 this year.

Mmm i bet Bayliss was annoyed about being beaten by semi-factory bikes, lol

And Xaus may have problems because he rides that bike so hard and heavy on the front tyre he could wear it out quite a bit and drop a few places, i hope he has a good season though:)


-Who do you think will win the GP this year and who will be the dark horse who will finish quite high?

I think Stoner will get it and De puniet will be dark horse..
