World Superbikes (free to air??)
Does anyone know if channel Ten Australia are going to broadcast the WorldSupers this year?
For those that dont know, Ten droped last years coverage due to its "lack of competitive racing". As things stand at the moment superbikes is going to be an amazing season! |

I'd love to see 9 pick it up. If 10 does pick it up again, maybe they could use the Fox Sports callers, instead of Bill Woods or someone like that trying to call the races |

Fox sports commentators are excellent , but I would love to see Warren (whatever his last name is) come back , he was brillinat

The other thing was is they refused to mention anything of it on the sports reports - had to tune into SBS World Sports to get the results! I heard a rumour (and i'll stress it was a rumour - just some dodgy forum talk) that Fox didn't want to give over the rights for this year *shrug* but who knows.
And 9 should get it, on one condition- the return of Darryl Eastlake

Maybe we could start a petition of sorts and send it to Foxtel to get him back on the WSBK calls |

How good were the nights where Fox had the MotoGP and WSBK double with a 7pm kick off going through to 2 am in the morning. Still you feel that 2005 is going to even better and I know the mrs is going to get even more ****ty with me for hogging the TV on Sunday nights.

Got an email back from Fox Sports about their coverage this year:
David Murdoch and Kevin Magee well be calling the races for Aussies again. Magee is good but i wish Warren Smith would return from the NRL to call the action How i long for Keith and Julian to re-unite one day Also, the reason they call the Phillip Island races from the studio in Sydney rather than from Phillip Island (and use the oversea's commentators for the MotoGP at Phillip Island), is due to budget restraints.
