Big step up for Parkalgar and their riders. Eugene would have been better served by a season in Supersport, and Praia is obviously there on nationality rather than talent. I can see them being the weakest Honda team.

For me the guy has been sub standard for a while now, a few wins here and there and like so many he goes well near the end of the year!!
No bnetter than many for me and considering he knows the trakcs and tyres not that mkuch better than Tamada really. Safe, but a bit erm Latin!! |

PSG-1 stays 2009 with Kawasaki. It seems to be that DFX Corse snatched the Ducati Deal away.
Ayrton Badovini is confirmed as the first driver, a second will be following. http://www.crash.net/motorsport/wsbk..._badovini.html |

Surely a talent wasted. Does Badovini have some sort of contract with Kawasaki? He is one of the bigger Italian talents in WSBK, why he's not riding an Azzuri bike, I don't know...

This thread has been very quite of late. This season is looking really good, it seems that WSBK is the only major championship in the World that is getting considerably stronger year on year, despite the recent economic noes dive.
With both Rossi and 250 champion Simoncelli looking to do a race in WSBK, it's defiantly going to be interesting. Plus you never know, maybe a certain M. Schumacher will make an appearance. Rossi http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72600 Simoncelli http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72566 |

So, any truth to the rumor that Bayliss would come out of retirement to have a go at Rossi? Because that would be mega...beyond mega. I'm not sure if that word exists yet?

Wow! Definitely the marquee series for me this year.
(But when ever I say that, MotoGP ends up (again) producing the goods.) |

I have heard a few rumours about Max, he is definatelya bit weird in the Kocinski mould!!
Shakey is cool beans, always has been really. And anyone who knows the roberts lot know they are all a right laugh, especially Senior who apparently is a right dirty joke teller! |
