I'm amazed Checa still
hasn't blasted into the lead and taken away. He should start seriously thinking about doing that before Biaggi finds an extra tenth of two and suddenly wins a lot of races.
By Biaggi
you meant Melandri, right?
;-)
Him too!
Checa sure has some guys to keep his eyes on!
Hard to chose a title favourite!
If Kawasaki finds a way to make the tyres last - and if BMW has an answer, then surely it's just a matter of time until Kawasaki does - then Sykes might be the man to bet on.
However, Checa, Biaggi and Melandri and Rea are all still on form with bikes that have got the performance to win races every time they take to the track.
I predict a few classic WSB races before this season is decided!
I think BMW's problem was in
I think BMW's problem was in the front. There were a lot of front-end crashes on that thing in the past couple of years. Kawi seems to eat rear tires.
But yeah, I suspect a couple of barn-burners might be in the works ... ;)
I guess the question is...
what's the deal with Honda? I mean, besides the fact that it hasn't really been updated for years (besides the drive by wire that debuted last year). Rea's been making that bike look a lot better than it actually is.
I wonder if Melandri hasn't
I wonder if Melandri hasn't broken Haslam's will. Poor Leon spends a year hurling that BMW into the weeds trying to get the company's first WSBK win. Then some new guy who's about 3'11" wanders into the pits with a supermodel girlfriend, puts up in the first race a better result than Haslam ever did, then gets BMW's first TWO wins - and the first one in Haslam's back yard. Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
Speaking of Sponsorship ...
Anyone notice that Aprilia, Honda, Kawasaki and BMW all are racing without title sponsors this season in WSBK?
