DON'T FORGET WSB this weekend!!!

Post by sirch345 »

I can hardy believe it's that time again, for WSB's :!: :D The 2009 opener starts off at Phillip Island, Australia this weekend.
Unfortunately it's Eurosport, on Sky tv that are showing it.

The first race is live at 1am Sunday (which is Saturday night) although the highlights are due to be shown at 4pm.

It sounds as if it could be an exciting year now that Troy Bayliss has retired, although I will miss him racing I do feel he did the right thing, to go out at the top :!:

Chris.

PS. Paul, yes time does fly, I was surprised to see the start of the WSB season was upon us already :!: well it will be at the weekend :D

:( already asked and errm NOPE was the answer! sponsors only.

He worked for TAS suzuki last year (Michael Laverty and Cameron Donald at the TT), they were v kind and got me n the nipper in for free at 2 BSB rounds, pit tour meet the riders etc, was a great day out :D

He's been updating his facebook account with the pics from Oz, the bike is a rocketship, apparently it left Cal Crutchlows Honda for dead in the test at Portimao recently. Eugene Laverty is strongly tipped for a good season.

Agreed, its a real cut throat session.Should see some great grid starts with some of the top guys trying to make up for tactical errors in superpole.
