Hopefully, everyone had a chance to see the races at Phillip Island this weekend. Best racing in some time, as Haslam and Rea went head-to-head for 44 laps. Van der Mark is already competitive in his first showing, and Honda are more competitive this season. BMW have thrown in the towel. No...
That's right folks.
WSBK round one at Phillip Island just got a boost.
Troy Bayliss is back on a Ducati for Phillip Island.
With the unfortunate injury to Davide Guigliano of a fractured vertebrae Ducati have wildcarded TB21 back in to the action.
Exciting just to see him back.

Aprilia Racing Team - Déjà vu?
After a thrilling start to the season, the Noale factory finds itself once again handily atop the standings. Veteran rider Sylvain Guintoli leads the standings by a healthy 10 points after just one round having secured a win and a podium during the Australian...
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...
I'll save you the scroll if you're only interested in the end result. It's Tom Sykes. You'd have to make a very convincing argument for any other outcome. However who he beat (literally and figuratively) on his way to the top is a story all to itself.
Second Runner up - Jonathan Rea (IRE)...
I figure we can post news here as it happens and discuss accordingly.
First item: Ducati back in factory colors. With riders Davies and some other guy.
I think the team will do well given the changes in regulations. Go Chaz! (Fellow Welshman)
Second item: As L8 posted, more...
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!)
