Ah ok.



Should be a good season, there are a lot of good riders in the mix.



Hopefully now that Dorna essentially owns the series camera quality will improve!
 
De Rosa? Isn't he a Moto2 reject? He didn't even do that well in that category. Not sure how he got a WSBK ride.
 
That list looks weird with no yamaha's on it.

Sad really.



BTW, that kid 36. Leandro Mercado ARG Pedercini Kawasaki ZX-10R, he was the runner up in the 2008 American Red Bull Rookies cup, the year Benny Solis won. So I wish him luck. I'll be rooting for him
 
Thats a big fat grid full of talent and its gonna give us all some smiles this year.

and #91
 

If you're not rooting for 91, there is a good chance you won't make it to heaven.

There will be a couple of Panigales in BSB run by the Moto Rapido team, no riders confirmed as yet.

Interestingly, Niall MacKenzie believes Haga will be on a Ducati in BSB - "Don't rule out seeing Nitro Nori in BSB on a Ducati..It came from a reliable source!" - on Twitter.
 
ah come on , i have already enough stuff to do, i can't afford following another series for more than one round (that being cadwell)
 
So has anybody heard anything about Haga linked to BSB? I want a reason to watch. Well actually, I have plenty of reasons. BSB was a thrill last year and I hope they keep it up. Other than the AMA DSB, were else am I going to see close overtaking? hahaha
 
Rumour

Rather than news of a tasty outbreak of root grubs or the imminent arrival of jack russells, the talk has all been about BSB and the signing-up of Noriyuki Haga San's services. Fans will indeed think this is the dog's borrocks. It's true. It's happening, Haga will be in BSB in 2012.

The chances are, Haga will ride for a European team on either Ducati or Aprilia tackle - but that really is just a wild guess. Allegedly, Haga's salary is being funded in part by Jonathan Palmer's MSV, the BSB series organiser.

Badger has some concerns about this news. Can Nori be bothered with a damp Wednesday afternoon test session at Mallory in March? Will he be able to see BSB as anything other than a backward step?

What will he make of the circuit-side hot food stalls?

The questions may be as yet unanswered but one thing's for sure - he should be able to adapt to the traction control ban OK.
 
Grid does look good but as mentioned no Yamaha and if the Aitchison deal doesn't come off NO Aussie in WSBK in a long while from memory

Really hope Haga gets in as others wish as well.
