It seems that all the good riders have now left for gps, letting mr average win on his 999.
Although the last race had interest in the mid field with Gregorio Lavilla (horaay for something with more than 2 clys) to do well. chris and james jousting for position, hodgeson seemed to walk away with it. Xaus is getting interesting so I hope he wins he seems to enjoy a race. I would love to see any manufacturer do well that isnt a duke, where did honda go!!
Hope the season hots up soon, bring on sugo.

for Neal for 6 in a row, Sugo was a very good double as even the previous best Superbikers have been beaten there by wild card riders.

Last years winning Honda team run by Neil Tuxworth are in the British Superbike Championships this year running Steve Plater and Mark Heckles who rode a bog standard Castrol sponsored SP2 in WSB last year (he was a sort of half brother to Colin......well maybe more of a back stairs illegitimate sprog that no one talked about and tried to ignore)

I knew his bike went to british superbikes, but I cant believe after winning last year with a bike that was a match for the dukes, that they pulled out.
It was abike that would be a match for the 999.
I suppose as they have dropped the SP2 now, they dont care about selling them and will concentrate on the new blade for next year for racing. which can only improve the racing with more bike variations 2 3 4 cly. It was great to see lavilla on the podium bring it on ducati. Dont like hodgeson much but he was doing wheelies and burnouts all last lap, he must have read that i thought he was boring. Bayliss won a lot to start with a hope lavilla or someone gives him some shit soon. Come on chris or gregorio or even try. enough waffle tl1000gussie.
