**2010 World Superbikes**

cant see biaggi winning the championship his best days are gone
he`s ok for a few wins this season, but i dont think he can hold it together for a full season anymore.
 
Biaggi is a strange one. He's still extremely fast, but for an old hand he makes far too many 'rookie' mistakes during races. He almost seems to crack under the pressure :confused:

yes he`s best years were in 250
even in 500 and motoGP he couldnt hold it together for a full season, thats why he ended up in wsb`s, no motoGP team would have him anymore

Suberbikes is awesome. Try to watch it as regularly as possible. WSB site is pretty good at showing replays, especially compared to motogp site, luckily i have iplayer cover that for me :p
 
Can't wait for it all to kick off again, and as for the Brits it'd be nice to see a few lockouts of the podium :D. Eugene Laverty posted the fastest time in the Supersport test as well didn't he?.
:)

Personally, I can't freakin' wait for next weekend. For those wondering, Josh Brookes is standing in for Broc Parkes who managed to crash and break his leg on a motocross bike. I'd have liked to have seen the Kawasaki's and the factory BMW boys a little higher up the order and Leon too, but it's early days yet :) CAN'T WAIT!
 
Nice to see Shaky on the pace. And Haga?. Well, that guy is one of my favorite guys to watch on a bike. Awesome rider. :D

Will be interesting to see how Max and Leon do in the initial stages of the season on the RSV4's.

Just watched the rerun of the Superpole as my Sky+ box is packing up and failed to record it this morning :(. All i can say is 'GO LEON', jeez...with so many brits in there who the hell do you cheer for?.
:D
 
I know I dont know who the cheer for either, There all brilliant, and I pretty much follow all the rider racing in the series this year bar Biaggi because hes an arse :p
 
Excellent job by Leon. Gutted for Shakey though, I hope this isn't a rerun of last year for him- quick in Testing and not able to translate it into good race performance. The Suzuki squad looks pretty menacing, which I like (I follow Suzuki in all the bike series like GP, BSB, WSBK- don't know why really..I don't own a bike and can't ride one either, I just love them).

Can't wait for the racing to start :)
 
Well, what did people think then? Possible spoilers below.















So pleased that the Suzuki squad are strong. Excellent races by Leon and Guinters in the second. I was gutted when Fabrizo was shown as winner for race 1, but glad that got rectified. Disappointing start for the Yamaha and Kawasaki squads though, I hope Chris is OK, looked like a nasty crash. Also, I can't believe how small the Supersport grid is. I love the class and close racing, but it just didn't have any this round. No doubt this has not been helped by the introduction of the new Moto2 class in GP. Roll on Portimao.
 
Awesome race's, Stayed up for the first race, but fell asleep during the supersport boring this year :/ just not the same with all the manufactures in it.
Really good to see Suzuki back on top though after a really bad last year in top level racing.
One of many podiums for the brits this year :D

Eurosports coverage was pretty poor, the second race looked like it was recorded on an old video camera! And not enough coverage of what else was going on, really wanted to see how Max got in front of Camier and both the Yamahas.
