World SBK starts this weekend

[black5]

First race is Qatar this weekend.

Who do you think will take the early lead?

Is Biaggi good enough to beat the regulars?

Bayliss early on then Biaggi and Toseland later - maybe Troy 2 or Haga for bit part players.

Can't wait.

I'd like to see Toseland show them his heels. Be good also to see Biaggi do well.

I think the first race will see some surprises but Bayliss will be there or abouts as he will ride that Ducati for everthing it has.

I reckon it going to be a good year this year and especially with Donington back on the calendar; one to go and watch I think.

I would love to see Haga win this year.....

[Steve_T]

Bayliss to win for me. The MotoGP win last year and indeed the form over the season demonstrates the pace he has. It would be good to see some of the other guys esp. Toseland with competitive bikes to take him on. I also hope Biaggi gets in there and mixes it.

[chrissarjeant]

hopefully Biaggi but if it doesn't go well it will be interesting/funny to hear all the different excuses that he will come out with

I don't care just looking forward to the racing starting

Toseland is my bet for more regular podium tussling...the guy is fearless...almost doesn`t know how to go slow these days...

Never happen - great on his day - could never string it all together after the year when he was caught taking something in 99 or 2000? on the R7.

It Will be Bayliss - just closer than last year.

I don't think so. The WSBK distribution list just mentions Eurosport and Motors TV, no BBC or Ch4/5 coverage by the looks of it.

Didn't think I had Eurosport - appears to work OK when I just selected the channel, Sky+'d it!
