The World Superbike Season starts next month so who has some predictions of the good and the not so good.

I think Haga on the Yamaha and Vermeulen on the Honda have to be my two choices for overall entertainment and possible championship winner. Although Corser and Kagayama on the Suzuki will be up there.

Ben Bostrom on the Renegade Honda is where my money would be; although, Troy on the Suzuki would be a good bet.

Nori on the R1 I think will do quite well.

Load of old rubbish. I could beat that lot on a C90

If you want real racing look at Formula 1, there's even a rumour that Michael Schumaker might have a different colour hat this year

I think WSBK will offer the best racing this year and the return of Ben Bostrom is great for the sport.

Rossi to win 2005 GP??? 1:1 odds probably, hope it doesn't go the way of the Schumacher show. I can't think of a bigger waste of time on a Sunday than to sit down and watch a parade of computer controlled cars conforming to team orders. I hope that someone can run Rossi closer to the edge this year, 9 wins in 2004 is a fantastic acheivement; however, a by-product of success is a lack of competition and for the viewer: boredom.

Yep Rossi to win. I can't see anybody beating him on a regular basis. The odd win for a few of the Honda riders and it would be good to see Edwards up there acting as Rossis rear gunner and picking up plenty of podiums.

Although Xaus could upset everybody, probably by crashing into them!!!

Good ol Frankie, do you think that they will put him in a museum soon? He is old enough to remember what drum brakes look like.
