I'll start the thread.   Should be interesting with the wild cards competing, doubt they'll be competitive, but fun to watch nonetheless.  

Leaving It to the Judges   It is an old adage in combat sports - never leave the decision to the judges. Typically the saying is taken at a high and singular level as a caution to fighters on the fickle nature of the judge's criteria. Judges are not in the ring with the protagonists, and the...

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...

Do it Nicky, if they will pay you like a professional.   http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Jul/130710owb.htm   If Dorna were smart, they would subsidize a part of his salary to get him into the series. He is not really a factor as far as tv ratings in GP, he would be a huge boost  to...

Sorry to say, but this year I'm calling off the trip to the Supers. We have a load goin on, and tae be honest, if it was Motogp, we would make more of an effort, but WSBK just isnt exciting me this year (and Debs just wants to watch Cal!!!) so change o plan/   As ever, give us a shout if...

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...

Looks like there may be a bit of truth in the Silverstone round being cancelled, Silverstone admitted talks with Dorna.  Judging by the advertising outside of the track, it does not appear, although there are tickets on sale through their website.   http://tinyurl.com/blkoyc2

must have missed this new rule change; if it starts to rain during a race, you can pit and three crew members and the rider can work on the bike to change tyres etc   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-y0fpkazA8

No TV deal on WSBK a week before season starts. Still no deal on GP  either, but they are at least saying  a deal is imminent for GP.

Appears the WSBK boys are taking time to get used to the new surface at PI, lots of accidents already!!!   Baz Highsided:   http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/188062/1/baz_plays_it_safe_after_high-speed_fall.html   Badovini trached his 1199, at least if you crash a Ducati you...

All things going well, everyones favourite Yorkshireman, Red i s making the trip up to the North pole for the first WSBK  race of the year. Any other PSErs up for a weekend of motorbikes on tv and chasing the northern lights gimme a shout!

Just read on crash.net that the proposed race in India might not be able to go ahead.  Indian customs are saying that all machines must be in the country fifteen days before the race, but the opening races at Phillip Island takes place two weeks before.   Formula 1 faced the same scenario in...
