Phillip Island.
For the australians one of the most anticipated race of the year, and for good reasons. Apart from being a track that promotes great racing, it is a common track between the WSBK and the MotoGp. Add to that that all the riders seem to love it then...well this race could be great!
As I type, the first qualifying is on and there is a duel between Vale and Colin, with Colin on the ball with a 31.5 with Rossie and Sete not far behind, which is why I belive that this race will be Edward's break out race win, with Vale leading home Sete and all but wraping up the title. In the field we have Vale, Biaggi and Roberts who have previously won at the island on the big bikes, and Edwards, Bayliss, Hodgeson and Mcoy who have done the same on superbikes. And I belive most of the other SBK guys have atleast been on the podium there. And as a note, Westy belives that he'll be able to do well as there are not to many hard acceleration bits.
