Re: WSBK Season Opener on SPEED this Sunday
I missed this - from 1-31-06

Quote:
A statement released by the Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra team appears to confirm that Max Biaggi will not be riding for the reigning World Superbike champions in 2006.

Crash.net asked the team for comment following reports that Biaggi was now targeting a partial WSBK season - after failing to gain the 'equal technical guarantees' he was requesting for a full time ride on a fourth Alsatre Suzuki - and were directed by Alstare to the following statement:


"With reference to the many articles and stories in the media, Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra would like to confirm the names of their riders for 2006:

"World SBK Championship:

"Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra (with official GSX-R1000 Suzukis): Troy CORSER (AUS) (2005 World Superbike Champion) Yukio KAGAYAMA (J)

"Team Alstare Suzuki Italia: Fabien FORET (F), (unofficial GSX-R1000 Suzuki prepared by Team Alstare)

"Superstock 600 Championship: Xavier SIMEON (BEL)."


Although the statement doesn't mention wild-card rides, it now looks increasingly likely that Biaggi's 2006 motorsport activities will be limited to possible further tests for the Midland F1 team.

Re: WSBK Season Opener on SPEED this Sunday
I think I said this is another thread, but I'll pull a "mini Red-Rider" and do it again:

if its raining or if the track is wet, then Bayliss is gonna walk the dog, but if it drys out and is hot and sunny(like the damn desert is supposed to be, instead of rainy!), then we could be in for a damn good scrap....let's pray for the sun to come out and soaring temps........ :thumbs:

No doubt Bayliss is probably the hands on favorite.

I expected more from Lanzi after the way he finished last season.

Bayliss looks like he's ready to rock.
