Obviously being Spaniards they are all automatically "great", the degree of greatness is what differs.

I think Forés will be fighting for wins in SS soon. He is still young so his talent is not yet fully developed. Probably the best WSBK rider we'll have.

The best?

Let him "develop", put him on the best SBK you can. Bayliss and Corser will still eat him alive.

Race 1 was a corker, Unlucky for Bayliss, great show from Barros & JT

Couldn't watch the races, they were only shown live 3 am. I see Xaus is getting closer to the podium (7th & 8th) despite still being injured and starting 22nd on the grid.

Nieto (8th & 9th) again best Kawasaki rider, though stil far away from the podium.

Bloody Pirelli

Bayliss's lead is very uncomfortable thanks to them. Damn JT and his consistent podiums

There were a lot of people who counted JT out after his fall from grace at Ducati. Not that the 999R is an underachieving machine in any way, shape or form but it seems JT has found more comfort aboard the CBR1kRR. Here's to hoping he keeps it up and battles it out with the two Troys.

I did too, I was impressed with the way he rode against the more seasoned guys. Consistency wins world titles.

barros is the 1 to look out for. i thougt it would take him longer to sort things out, but apperantly not. his bike is still down on top speed, but if klaffi can fix that, then the other's better start worryin.

It's still going to Bayliss. Now they've got a few tracks coming up that Barros dosen't know. It'll help Troy get the comfortable lead he needs to start building up

Spot on mate,I`ll put my neck out and call Barros for regular podiums and at least one race win,he adapts quickly-remember when Honda gave him an RCV.

good point drill! forgot about that. the only thing gotta worry about is the new track thing, but will see. i think his experience will make this a small hurdle to overcome.
