What with the BSB running Pirelli's as well as the WSBK this year does anyone know if there will be any wildcard entrants in the World Suprbike rounds here, like the good old days. In the last years of Pirelli WSBK I've only seen Tommy Hill (brilliantly on pole at Silverstone) take part.

And would the Airwaves Ducati's have to change cylinders to compete if they did?

I'd have thought Crescent Suzuki and the HM Plant Hondas would want to measure themselves against them.

British rounds.

Haslam is hoping to do a few, but crutchlow is out shining him at the moment, haslam does seem to do well when hes got something to prove, seems to play catch up well at end of seasons lol.

Shane byrne has also shown an interest but his bike would need upgrading as you say i think although i dont have a clue, but the bsb run tight stock like rules on internals and i dont think worlds do,
but i dont know what im banging on about so ill shut up

your right, bsb engine rules are completely different but airwaves will just have wsb spec engines from xerox and we are building our own wsb engines for haslam/crutchlow.

we are planning to do one uk round and 2 foreign rounds.

even better news is that johnny rea, andrew pitt and craig jones are to do the bsb supersport race at donny this month, cool as feck.........
