If you check out Youtube for Chili and Fogarty you'll see what I mean.
Or... check out the riding style of another 'champion that never was'... James Whitham. I would hate to be behind him or have him behind me going into a corner.
The mid-90s were, IMHO, the most entertaining but I must try to catch up with it now.
Now... there's Haga. What a nutter!!
I still have videos and old tapes of Foggy burning it at Assen.. But like you said, there are some substitutes for that

Thanks for the links. It was great.

worldsbk.com streams the races live on raceday. highlights of the races appear directly on the wsbk channel on .

there are other sources such as speed tv but then again.. i do not know anybody who uploads the races on torrents. will post it here when i get some heads up.

the above youtube link sends you directly to the race 2 highlights which was won by Ben Spies!

You can/could watch the races on ZEE sports (if you have subscribed to that channel that is), they telecast the qualy and races live.

Nitro Nori won the first race and what a race it was. I missed the second race, Ben Spies won that and Haga came in second.

For a change Haga has had a good start to this season, I hope this is the year he does it.

Cant wait for Qatar! This year the series is all set to overshadow MotoGP.

Thanks man.. but i don't get Zee sports on my TataSky.

WSBK is going great but I still have my reservations on the opinion if it can overshadow MotoGP!! The new single tyre rule, banning of launch control & Electronic braking systems will definitely play its role in making MotoGP more exciting again, we can expect more close races than before. Moreover, till names like Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa, Hayden, Lorenzo etc are in it.. its bound to be popular... The name Rossi is enough to bring the crowds storming in.

Anyway... It's just my opinion.. thats it!
