World Superbike

WSB is looking pretty gutted for 2003 with two of the top riders leaving and Kawasaki dropping out.

Yes, SPEED does televise the MotoGP race. Look for "MotoGP Championship" in the schedule. It's on tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST.

Haga and the rest just don't seem to be able to cut it. Are we even going to want to watch WSBK next season?

This physically pains me. I cant belive you dont find Haga entertaining to say the least He's the man...just give him some more time on that twin

If edwards does not go to MGP he will ride for Duc and take his #1 plate with him. Duc would love that

WSB has existing stars returning next year. Hodgson on a full factory ride. Corser, if the Foggy bike is a reality. Tosland will be exciting, I think. Haga, nuf said. It just gives the rest of them a chance to step up and grab for the glory.

If Edwards is gone I'd almost bet the farm on Hodgson, but that isn't too hard to predict... He was the only one that ran with Bayliss and Edwards consistently this year.

You know, I really want to like Haga, but he races like he just doesn't care to be on the Aprilia. I think he has plenty of talent, but he rides like Aprilia is a temporary thing; like he's waiting until Honda calls him up. He's too impatient and takes too many chances at the begining and wastes his tires and then can't hang at the end.

I think watching haga and xaus on the aprilias should be interesting, but they will crash out of a bunch of races and hodgson will probably take the whole thing. He did this well on an old bike so picture him with the latest equipment. Too bad Ben Bostrom had to come back to the US.

I dont think its gonna be that bad. Edwards and Bayliss will be missed definatly...but it still has alot of talent. Hogdson is great rider and looks as if Xuas will stay with Ducati Coarse now. They should make a good team if Xuas can stay on the bike more! Corser will make his return with the Foggy Petronas Bike alongside Haydon. Haga returns. MV and Mondail are also rumored to be fielding teams next year. Its definatly a transition year but I think it will still be entertaining.
2004 will be the big year. All the manufacturers should be throwing something new in with the new rules. Cant wait!!
I say Hogdson, Haga, & Corser will carry the torch!
