Time filler: your fantasy bike racing grid
If you could pick a grid of riders, what would you go for in terms machinery and rider line up? You can include riders from different series if you want. This is what I'd go for:
First have everyone on Pirelli tyres. Then: DUCATI 999 Inforstrada Ducati - Troy Bayliss and Shane Byrne NCR Ducati - Pierfrancesco Chili Fila Ducati - Neil Hodgson and Ruben Xaus Xerox Ducati - Regis Laconi and James Toseland Monstermob Ducati - Sean Emmett and Gregorio Lavilla HONDA FIREBLADE Castrol Honda - Colin Edwards and Chris Vermeulen HM Plant Honda - Michael Rutter and Ryuichi Kiyonari YAMAHA R1 Sony Yamaha - Noriyuki Haga Virgin Yamaha - Steve Plater and Gary Mason SUZUKI GSXR1000 Alstare Suzuki - Troy Corser and Yukio Kagayama Rizla Suzuki - John Reynolds KAWASAKI ZX10RR Fuchs Kawasaki - Chris Walker Hawk Kawasaki - Glen Richards and Scott Smart BENELLI TORNADO Acer Benelli - Peter Goddard FOGGY PETRONAS FP1 Foggy Petronas Racing - Garry McCoy and Steve Martin |

What do you have against Pitt or Abe? I'd rather see Colin stay in MotoGP - he's doing really well and should take at least 1 win next year. Reynolds would never go to WSBK - he's turned down the chance, I doubt he'd want all the travelling or track-learning anymore. And Emmett, Smart and Rutter aren't good enough for the world series - and as for the perma-crashing Steve Plaster..... Not to mention, who would race in BSB if this situation unfolded?
A works Honda team would be great though. If Chris doesn't go to MotoGP for next year he'd be ideal to lead it alongside Kiyo or perhaps Karl Muggeridge. Klaffi are having a strong debut season, and Ten Kate could be a championship fixture for years. Extra Suzukis would be good - perhaps the 2005-spec bikes for Kaga and a young rider, with a big star brought in alongside Troy. Chris Walker deserves better than a private Kawasaki, so maybe him. |

Well I was thinking of what would it be like to have riders from British and World Superbikes together on the same grid? The closest we ever had to that were the one off wildcard entries at the British rounds a few years ago. |

Don't forget the Japanese series, that's a very strong field in its own right, the Italian one is fairly good, and the AMA has a few top riders. I'd agree that few of the additions you included would be up to the job. And you've left out some very good riders and teams - especially Lanzi and Neukirchner. And how many of your Ducati teams would be factory - Xerox used to sponsor NCR/Caracchi and now sponsor the main team - Fila's a name from the past in racing terms. Frankly I prefer the grid we've got now by some distance.
