      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!
      I am lucky I have Airtel Digital TV.

      The reason I feel Superbike championship is better that MotoGP is the number of bikes, close racing (Most motogp's are processional), and the bikes are not too different from what you could buy (well not we Indians obviously ).

      Agreed the lure of Rossi (along with Stoner and Mini P) is too much but he recently expressed interest in racing R1 against Bayliss's Ducati. Too bad this never materialised...

      And of course all this is my opinion. BTW, I follow both very closely along with F1 and WRC (too much time on my hands on sundays).

      Cheers,
      Hiren

      PS: Here's hoping to a cracker of a season in F1, MotoGP, SBK and WRC!!

        I don't think so. We all have opinions and if we respect the opinion of the other individual we should be able to have a friendly banter.

                            The RSV is not doing too badly for a new bike. A pity that Biaggi got pushed around like a kid in the second race. I hope that he and nakano make up this time around.

                            The texas rookie is piling up the heat!
