bummer i think he would do well on the 800. he must be scared of the pod beating him up

luvtolean · 09-08-2006, 10:26 PM

Wow...it really happened even with an offer from Duc on the table.

i told you guys that Biaggi was going to WSBK. i doubt that Biaggi will be competitve especially with Colins, Bayliss, Corser, Barros and maybe even Hodgy, not to mention the up and coming stars.

You know, comments like that from you don't even surprise anyone any longer.
They are still moronically funny, but not surprising at all.
You didn't tell anyone Biaggi was going to WSBK. That's been a fact since last season. The Suzuki deal was supposed to be ready as a third bike for the current season, but fell through as it was a last minute deal.
The only customer team rides worth a damn in MotoGP are Hondas, and Biaggi will never ride a bike HRC has any say in again. The B-spec Ducati ride he was offered is only slightly better than the Tech-3 Yamaha crap.
Of course he wasn't going to take that. His problem has nothing to do with his talent. Every rider you mentioned (although I don't know a Colins, only a Colin) can't hold a candle to Biaggi's talent. He made Edwards, Bayliss and Barros look stupid in MotoGP, and Corser will be nothing more than a blip to him. Hodgson?

Hodgson?

Again, not surprised by that one given your knowledge level.
Suzuki finally got a taste of the #1 for the first time ever in WSBK last year and they want it back. They pretty much bought it when the deal was completed with Biaggi.
On a competitive bike he will walk the field there with more ease than Bayliss is doing this year.
I really like Barros, I wish he'd do some development work for HRA/HRC here and he still has the ability and desire to get another win or two, but once Biaggi has a few tests under his belt to learn the Pirellis and the Suzuki it will be game over.

*BIGSAPOTEER* · 09-09-2006, 1:06 AM

You must have a crystal ball, since you know whats going to happen. this will happen (according to the 1-800 # i called) Biaggi will have trouble in the first year, he will cry, make excuses and get blacklisted by Suzuki. Soon the only bike that he would be able to ride would be a BMX. Bayliss will still be competitve, especially if Ducati gets their wish and get a 1100cc or 1200cc dispalcement next year.

Repeater · 09-09-2006, 1:07 AM

and thats all i am going to say about that.

well maybe:

RRWANTR · 09-09-2006, 1:52 AM

I'll call it now. Biaggi won't win the WSBK championship next year. =)

phobiaphobe · 09-09-2006, 4:56 PM

Like the guy or not, he will dominate WSB.

I will enjoy reposting this next year after the WSBK season ends to remind you how wrong you were

abtech · 09-09-2006, 5:50 PM

I seriously doubt many of the current riders will have much for Max. If he gets decent support, he'll clean their clocks . . .

There isn't a single rider in WSBK right now that can touch Biaggi's talent.
The addition of Edwards won't change that one bit, nor will throwing Hodgson (

) into the fray.
He will be on a factory team, and as long as that bike remains competitive they stand NO chance.
The only thing that will stop Biaggi will be his temper or the bike being horribly bad. If that happens, I'll gladly accept it. Everyone knows he's a prima donna, but that doesn't change the fact that he's an extremely talented prima donna.

Getsome · 09-09-2006, 7:35 PM

But still a prima donna non the less. He'll probably get bitch slapped a few times then be too busy whining to win races.

*BIGSAPOTEER* · 09-10-2006, 12:50 AM

wrong again BDA. so what if Biaggi is going to be on first string GSXR (Factory supported). he couldn't do **** on first string RC211 (remember?). don't get me wrong he is very talented, but as soon as a mechanical failer, wrong tire, wrong set-up, etc... he will start bitching and will become uncompetitive. my money on Bayliss next year.

BDA116 · 09-10-2006, 10:57 AM

Biaggi has more riding talent than Bayliss in his pinky.
It is so amusing that you actually think you know something about racing.
We could compile a seriously funny little book with your idiotic posts on the subject.

BDA didn't say he was better than the MotoGP riders did he? he said he was better than the WSBK riders, totally different talent pool.

Biaggi is a bitch and I don't really like him but he'll do well next year. He's got an attitude and he'll be on a Suzuki, its a match made in heaven.

maxib · 09-10-2006, 12:37 PM

I just finished watching the WSB race in Germany. There is no doubt in my mind after seeing that race, Biaggi will kick ass in that series next season.

*BIGSAPOTEER* · 09-10-2006, 6:16 PM

Hey CBR929RE are you BDA's bitch? Everytime he posts something, you have to agree with him and kiss his ass. Have your own opinion buddy. Hey BDA if you are the "God" of motorcycle, then who will win the next race or championship for that matter? You always talk about a race/riders after the results, do it before and make a prediction. And do me a favor give CBR929RE a

for me.

Gecko5 · 09-13-2006, 2:47 PM

If Edwards goes back to WSBK next year, I feel the better racing will occur in WSBK. Just because the talant level of riders on hardware which is more level than in MotoGP. I am hoping that Barros gets better support and Edwards ends up on a factory ride.

Please start on this now.

For the record: I only agree with BDA and kiss his ass when he's right.

Scout · 09-13-2006, 3:27 PM

Prediction: Barring injury, Biaggi should be points leader half way through the season - and keep it that way to the crown.

qoelet · 09-13-2006, 4:00 PM

Well i actually don't think that Biaggi is a motorcycle genius, on any level. he was 250 GP champions, okay, but that was it. At least Edwards, Bayliss, Corser and the like have World Superbike titles to their credit.

Being Braziliam I'd love to see Barros win something instead of just being 4th all the friggin' time but I don't think he has spunk to do better in WSBK.

Anyway, Alstare Suzuki has in fact entered a 3rd machine in the grid, under the name 'Alstare Engineering Suzuki' (without Corona sponsorhip). That seat belongs to Max Neukirchner at the moment but the WSBK comentators doubt that he'll remain there next year.

At the Lausitz ring race tv broadcast they mentioned something about the silly season. Rumours say that Barros is supposed to take Karl Mugg's place in the Winston Ten Kate Honda squad, and then something about Biaggi and Alstare Suzuki so we'll see.

By the way, I thought that the only factory team in WSBK was Ducati. As far as I know the Alstare Corona Suzuki team does not have direct support from Suzuki japan.

He's gonna clean their oh... "clocks" it says clocks...

misread it for a second there...

OK, yeah that could happen, but wouldn't that be a step back for him? like going to a lesser class competition?
