Can we expect 2011 season to be covered on TV?

I hope thats the case and Nori is back on an inline 4 as opposed to V twin tractors.

Regarding 2011, we can all live in hope. Did you know MotoGP is telecast in HD? But we got the vanilla feed.

Then how do you explain the 2009 season ?
He s seasoned enough to ride anything. He is just not consistent. He s the only guy capable to losing 87 point lead.If you had followed his Yamaha tenure you would see him being brilliant once and pathetic next and he can never get any better getting old. ( Not everyone is Bayliss

).
The problem is the Ducati is slower this season and his inconsistency also remains the same. So you find him lower in the group.
Michel was also good last season where is he now? And they reduced the V twin max weight again mid season ? Why ? The Ducati is now slower than competition.
Michel n Byrne are in the same level where are they now ? Checa where is is he now ?
The Bike is bad now ! Nori is the same.. He is and will be inconsistent.

Hmmm, got to agree

Edit--
A very good rider(Mc Coy, if you insist) can out smoke most of the grid(any) on a stock Motorcycle/same Motorcycle on any given track, but it doesn't make him THE racer which a team would want. they want a consistent & development inclined guy.

i wonder what is wrong with Corser, want him to win again.

**soulstation** · 09-01-2010, 02:27 AM

Corser? even he wonders whats wrong with him. i feel he is very moody. he too is favored by luck just like Haga. good on a saturday and bad on a sunday. how he won on a suzuki is still a SBK mystery. years from now it will be a Myth.

credit to him and all. i agree with suren (obviously since he is most knowledgeable is sbk after me that is

) Haga san i really dont see him as a champion. SBK needs a legend now and neither corser no haga can deliver so Biaggi for the next 2 years will be great for the sport.

Now future champions: this is what i like to see for the next 3 years.

2011: Biaggi - Aprilia (2nd championship)
2012: Rea - Honda
2013: Rossi - Ducati

No possibilities of Haslam and maybe Crutchlow (if he stays in WSBk that is...)...?,

Nopes, nada, nil.
Crutchlow is off to MotoGP to fill the seat vacated by Ben Spies and even Haslam is courted by one of the MotoGP team (the name escapes me).

too bad....I kinda like Haslam....hope he goes to a good team......no point coming in 10th everytime.....is it the beginning of a new trend.....i.e. start in WSBK...get some good results and then move to Motogp.....Edwards, Spies, Crutchlow and now Haslam....there may be others/exceptions...am kinda new to WSBK stuff....

**sheelpriye** · 09-01-2010, 03:09 PM

Makoto Tamada/ Shinya Nakano/ Max Biaggi/ Reuben Xaus/ Michel Fabrizio to name a few.

Few came to Moto GP from WSBK & went back again, in the same way as few came to WSBK for BSB & went back to BSB again.

**tehBad1** · 09-01-2010, 04:24 PM

Not to forget..others who started and built their careers in GP and then moved to SBK..Biaggi comes first to mind in recent memory..but I'm sure there're few more as well..

**kingkong** · 09-01-2010, 05:03 PM

I personally feel that it is kinda of Talent drain for WSBK.....the riders who do well in WSBK..(read fight for victory)....move to motgp and become a 6th-7th place finisher....(spies is exception)....thus reducing the no. of probable winners which results in relatively boring races...(relative is the keyword..

)

Imagine spies fighting Biaggi for title this year....

Maybe they should merge both the champioships....would make for a great watch.....Just imagine....

Spies fighting with Biaggi? He would simply Elbow him out

NOOO!
They should allow riders to race one sunday a WSBK and another sunday on MotoGP.

**soulstation** · 09-03-2010, 12:36 AM

^^ that would be mean motorsports on one sunday and cricket on the next at ESPn Star.

either way you will miss the SBK races so whats the point.

Melandri, Toseland and Eugene Laverty are fighting for the BMW Seat. Xaus sure looks down and out.

Who would you pick?

I haven't seen Laverty riding.

**soulstation** · 09-03-2010, 08:50 AM

Melandri has a contract offer, but he is waiting for clearance from Grisini Honda Moto1.

i just cant wait for the German round. Home race for BMW, Max Neukirchner, classic track. i want to see where those ducati mech are looking.

and to add...

THE NEW NINJA
