World Cup? Or Three Brits on Both Podiums in WSB? – No Contest

April 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Joolz says...., Motorcycle Racing

As we plough headlong into another dreary round of the World Cup – is it really four years since the last one? – epitomised by Terry Venables (who apparently has something to do with football) murdering a song on prime time TV, I ask have the team really got a better chance of bringing glory [...]

The Curse Of The Eurosport Director

April 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

Whilst I am normally beside myself with happiness at this time of year – not only is the weather improving and trips on the motorbike become rather more pleasurable than in the long, wet and cold winter months, but also the motorcycle racing season has started. Joy unbounded, except…. …there’s a blot on the landscape… [...]

Why are Beckham and Rooney on TV but not World Superbikes?

April 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

Whilst the supporters of overpaid blokes who kick a leather ball around get all hot under the collar about whether the latest broken toenail, or some such, of one of the England team will scupper their chances in the World Cup (and so lets all talk about 1966 again endlessly cos we haven’t got a [...]

World Superbikes Philip Island – The Crashes

March 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

My Dad, strangely, thinks it hasn’t been a good race if there haven’t been any crashes, somewhat missing the point. But then will happily sit in front of the TV for hours on end during the off season watching all the re-runs – nowt as strange as folk. At the recent Philip Island WSB round [...]

WSB 2010 – Thrilling season opener at Philip Island

March 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle News

Well we were geared up for the beginning of the World Superbikes season in our house, with endless debates on who would likely be champion this year, we joined the MCN fantasy road racing league and set the Sky box to record. Well the opening round from Philip Island did not disappoint. With Brit Leon [...]

World Superbikes – Who Will You Choose?

February 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

The wait is over, the long winter months draw to a close (sort of) and at long last the motorcycle racing calendar revs up this weekend with the first World Superbikes races from Philip Island-hoorah! It seems like, and in fact it is, months since the last race in 2009, and in between we have [...]

Imola World Superbikes – An Armchair Report

September 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle News

With championships at stake there’s no doubt that this weekend’s World Superbikes from Imola, with just two further rounds to go,was full of action. In World Superbikes, Ben Spies had pulled out an eighteen point lead over rival and champion-in- waiting Nori Haga. Throw into the mix Jonathan Rea who had been on fire all [...]

Brits Storm Assen

April 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

World Superbikes felt the full force of the Brit Pack last weekend in Assen and proved that they will be contenders for some serious points, if not the title,in both the superbikes and supersports category. In the first World Superbikes round Haga, Spies and Haslem fought tooth and nail throughout the race in battles reminiscent [...]

Laverty: “Craig Jones’ Win”

March 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

The second round of the World Superbikes and World Supersports from Qatar was even better than the first round in my opinion. The World Supersports action was superb with edge of the sofa excitement right to the finish line. Cal Crutchlow on the Yamaha started from pole position on the grid with Eugene Laverty on [...]

Would you want WSB scrapped in favour of GP?

February 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Joolz says....

Well if reports are to be believed then Yamaha race chief, Masao Furusawa, would like it to happen after seeing his GP racing budget cut by 20% for 2009 and the factory having a forced two week shutdown. It seems he would rather spend the available money on Moto GP. There have been some upsets [...]
