Well if the Supersport opener was anythinhg to go by it's going to be a cracker of a season,better than F1 any day of the week.I think the entire F1 allocation of overtakes was done at Philip Island :-X

They have pulled out as a factory team this season so any Ducati's racing are there with someone else footing the bill.
Corser and Haga are still doing it !

And they have a few refugees from MotoGP, notably Max Biaggi (current champion) and careless chucker (who is doing well at the the minute). I still think the series is in decline though tbh.
Long gone are the halcyon days of Bayliss, Edwards, Haga etc.
Wouldnt be surprised if Nori calls it a day at the end of this season tbh.

It would be a shame if he did as he has yet to win the title and is still the samurai of slide  :)
I see another GP refugee in Melandri is doing a decent job so far.
I think Toseland will struggle this year and going by the pre-season hype Kawasaki is still not quite there imho.

Yep, Nori would be sadly missed. He is my own personal all time favourite WSB rider. Shame he never got a title, but tbh I think its unlikely to happen now.
Forgot about Melandri tbh.
Never a Toseland fan tbh, always thought he was a tad over rated. Had a good manager who had a knack of getting himon good bikes imo. ;)
