I have to say I thought it was quite tame, more of a pissing contest seeing what the other teams had and then giving them 7 weeks to sort the bugs out. I'd imagine that Honda will be burning the mid night oil and Haslam will be having a talking to.

didnt see the start of race 2, what did Haslam do to end up at the back?
His race 1 performance showed that he was planning to try and ride the wheels of a slow bike, so I had High hopes for him to be in the mix.

Haslam got mixed up in the Davis/Baz altercation, along with the other Leon. Never really recovered from there.

Well I loved it!
Far too long since watching the last season.
I wonder if Checa's headache will be gone by the next race? 8O There was a fair amont of pennies worth thrown down the road over the weekend.
Anyone know why there is such a long wait until the next race?

Maybe Motogp should do the same thing, get a race early in the season and go away and work on the bike for a month or 2

When WSB comes back it should be a cracker

Not sure it was tame............lap record was broken many times and plenty of argybargy going on

I think it's just something re the kudos of being the first championship of the year under way.

I have the next race down as March 10th, two weeks , new track in India. I will double check that on the WSBK website...


This is the reason...

According to MCN today the Silverstone WSB event is in doubt due to the cost of it, and the limited returns.
