Im looking forward to BSB myself this year. Nori Haga will be riding in the series,so there could be fireworks.He seemed to have really lost his spark the last couple of seasons in WSB but up until then,was one of the most exciting and commited riders ever to throw a leg over a bike.Hopefully the change will reignite his passion and we will be in for a real treat.
WSB is now like MotoGP retirees championship imo. Its dying on its arse,the glory years are long gone.
MotoGP is also introducing a seperate class for bikes not a million miles away from WSB type machines,so that might hammer another nail in its coffin.It also demonstrates how desperate things have become in MotoGP that they need to do this in order to get more than a dozen bikes lined up on the grid.
It can only serve to further dilute the prestige of the series imo,and apparently some of the top riders have said the speed differential between the full spec works bikes and these new slower bikes is downright dangerous. Could be interesting times ahead.
Testing suggests that the Honda is in a class of its own again (and mumblings in the paddock of a F1/Ferrari style, blind eye being turned by scrutineers),and as Stoner is in a different class to the other Honda riders, he might just walk away with it again this year.
Still looks like Rossi has made a momentous mistake by moving to Ducati.Its make or break this year,if it doesnt work out he will either have to retire,or swallow his pride and go back to Honda just to prove he can beat Stoner on equal machinery imo.
As for this weekend - working as usual.In between shifts resting,hoping to recover some energy after the week from hell due to a serious allergic reaction - probably due to peanuts,which I had a half a packet of, for the first time in about 20 years.
