WSB Testing

So pleased to see my main man Bayliss back at the top!!!

Next year is definately going to be a battle between the two troys for the championship.

Muggeridge was 4th overall i think so lets see if he can put together some 'race' form next year as he was quick last year but couldnt put anything together in the races.

Also hope Kagayama can stay up front during the course of next year too.

Foggy Petronas is going to be top ten as always.

Working out who's going to be 3rd next year after the two troys will be interesting. Haga is on the same bike that he was on as last year, something which hasnt happened for him since 2000 when it was his 2nd year on the R7! So i hope this will give him more consistent performances.

Pirelli are getting better....

Good for Troy, I think he's the man to beat this year. I read that article about Pirelli and I personally don't buy into the notion that Pirelli are becoming one of the elite tire manufacturers. Qatar is a new track where no one has any data so I can understand how they are fast there but I would like to see their times compared to MotoGP around a track like Valencia, I don't think anyone would come close to running top 10 MotoGP times whether they were set by Michelin or Bridgestone.

Xaus is back in WSBK with an NCR Ducati,I really hope a return to his old form is a reality,its like watching `gangly` Stephane Mertens race again.Best of luck,Rubens!!

Hopefully he'll be getting the same factory treatment Ducati gave Lanzi at the end of last season.

I`d love that to be so,Ooost.It would give the Troys somebody to race against at the front,no disrespect to ANY WSBK rider,but Rubens is very handy on a SBK and it will be great to see him competitive again.`06 in MGP and WSBK is really going to be a joy to watch.

Anyone knows why Kawa didn´t test?

I think Lanzi is going to kick some ... next year, the Troys are too old.
