The Long Road to the Race   The 2013 WSBK season was filled with ups and down, and the kind of on-track drama that fans live for. A first time champion was crowned, new blood was injected mid-season that shook up the order, a manufacturer's racing juggernaut fell and a new one rose. Then there...

Déjà Vu?   Tom Sykes - Haven't we been here before? Last race weekend of the season and the title is still up for grabs. A lone, lime green Kawasaki fighting to hold off a hard charging red and black Aprilia? The fate of the universe hanging in the balance? Well, maybe not that last one but...

Late to the party, long week. Thanks for being patient (although it seems that the round 12 thread is going nice and strong. Love it!)   The Quiet and the Storm   Every season is marked by some type drama - a randomly repeating event that seems to have a drastic effect on the overall...

A Moment of Silence   The Pucker Factor; though firmly encased in humor it is a term that every rider around the world knows and race spectators empathize with. It is the moment when your own personal safety zone gives way, when the illusions of control fall and all that you are left with is the...

From Russia With Love   Tom Sykes - It's not hard to imagine the kind of reception that Tom Sykes received following round 7 at Imola. The hardy Brit had battled through injury, mechanical failure and personal errors to stay within sight of the championship leaders week in and week out. Many...

Losing The Battle, Winning the War   Tom Sykes knows dejection, frustration and iron resolved when it is rolled up in one tight ball of barely contained fury. After closing to within spitting distance of leading the 2013 points standings, Sykes found hard times at the last outing Portimao. The...

<blockquote class=" The Road to Redemption Tom Sykes is a man on the move, but it wasn't too long ago that he was on the tip of everyone's tongue for the wrong reasons. In Monza the Kawasaki ZX-10R pilot rode the wheels off his green machine to finish ahead of title rival Sylvain Guintoli and...
