WSB 2006

I heard rumors he was sniffing around BSB looking for a ride. If he doesn't land anything there I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Aus Superbikes or retire all together.
 
I dunno if you fella's know but silly season in Aus superbikes is up there with the most boring events in motorcycle racing.
I don't think McCoy's coming back here. But as far as I know theres a vacancy in the factory Honda team, left by Josh Brookes (The wildcard who won WSS at Phillip Island) because he says he won't be in the Australian Championships next year, then again, Biaggi says he'll be in MotoGP next year too

We already knew this buit it has been made official that Xaus will be going back to WSBK on a (private) Ducati.
back to crashing in wsbk eh!

Xaus will be on the Sterilgarda Duke,a good team for Steve Martin in 04.Rubens should get the best out of the bike and at least one win in 06.
 
Wave bye bye to either Karl Muggeridge or Frankie Chili from the Honda WSB camps because Barros will be replacing one of those two.

why muggas or chili Ooost?
 
Because there have been rumors that Barros would be going to WSB with Honda for quite some time and most of those rumors had him replacing Muggas at Ten Kate however I think it's equally possible that they would rather hang on to the younger Muggeridge than the older Chili and there is no way Neukricher or JT are in jeopardy.
 
Geez..world superbike will have to be re-labeled as The MotoGP graveyard.
Mother WSBK
Bring me your tired, your poor and your underperforming riders...
 
I don't even know if this is somewhere on the topic all ready, but i had word that Barros is joining the boys in WSB!!!

IMO WSBK should rival GP in popularity. At the very least it should be a path into the GP, not a path out of it.
 
Barros has been announced for Klaffi Honda in 2006. That can only mean so long Frankie Chili, unless Klaffi can somehow afford to run three bikes which I doubt very much. In all fairness though, it is about time poor Frankie hung 'em up.

And the same couldn't be said for Barros?
 
The results will tell, after all Barros won a race in 2005, which is something few others managed. Anyway if he doesn't deliver he will join Chili in retirement in 2007.
