Haslam and Badovini are excellent additions to the BMW cause. I wish them and Troy well as the team tries to reconstruct itself following the purge at the end of last years effort.

[roger albert]

I would be very interested to see, at a given track, ideally taken in similar conditions, Badovini's times on the Superstock vs the Superbike. Anyone know if any timing for him is posted anywhere. Guess academic, as PI he'd not have attended last year.

worldsbk.com and as you stated, no PI

[Rapid Dog]

...wow! Right On Leon!

[Guest24]

Yup, they only did Superstock in Europe if my memory is still working.

[roger albert]

Yes, in fact, the class is called European Superstock.

[Guyf]

Leon is moving up!

What channel do you guys in the US get SBK? ESPN? Fox? ESPN+....

[Guyf]

Speed Channel

[chewie]

is there no coverage here? - what the bloody hell is going on? looks like i dont get it now with our foxtel/austar package

what a pita, this sucks

how are you aussies catching it?

[Guest24]

WSBK doesn't offer a season pass like MotoGP. They aren't interested in building a fan base. They are in it for $$$'s. I don't give a chit about WSBK any more. But, I doubt that they give a chit what I think anyhow.

[lennie]

chewie,

it sucks that foxtel/austar have not worked out a deal with the SPEED channel 206 for the rights to on sell to their customers.

I told the customer service rep I may cancel my austar here in Hobart because of it.

[RIQUE]

I get Speed Channel here but for some .ucking reason the SBK race will not be transmitted. That just sucks plus a couple of extra 4 letter words.

[Guest24]

Just did the live timing. It's going to be a good season

Joking Nail... i couldn't let that one pass.

Tell me something I didn't know, Bill. I'd like to get you on this Motoyoyo bike with the GoPro Mounted.

I prefer the stock steering angle. My reflexes are not as quick anymore. I just turned 50...
