WSBK season predictions?

Ok first meeting out of the way, whatdayafink?

I think the GSXR is going to be one hell of a bike to beat, - with BSB and AMA titles, it's a sorted bike. I think Corser will get the championship over Kagayama as he knows all of the circuits. JT/Regis fighting for 3rd. Sad year for Ducati in WSBK but I guess the day had to come

Corser isnt consistent enough, my money is on ..

1. Kagayama

2. Laconi

3. Corser or Vermuleun....

Walker to finish top 6 and JT to have a mare ....

You think Kagayama is more consistent than Corser? Interesting ...

I would have Corser at the top, I've said as soon as he signed for Suzuki that he'll win the championship this year.

It's always a lottery picking the winner as so many things can happen but I'll have Corser to win. I don't know what is happening with the Honda but after last year I'd put Vermuelen up there. I'm going to give him 3rd behind Kagayama.

Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that that Suzuki is a brand new bike, which the riders didn't get to ride until very recently.
On that basis, it looks likely that it will only get better so it seems a safe bet that one of them will win the title. I wouldn't discount Yuki on the basis that he doesn't know the tracks as well as Corser, they were all new to Qatar but at times Yuki was clearly the fastest guy out there. If he has a trouble free season it would be hard to bet against him.

Yuki had been there before with Suzuki.

Got to admit, on the first race results it would look like Corser for the title, his knowledge of the circuits over Kagi will be the main advantage. A lot of other possible title runners had bleakish starts due to lack of preperation, must admit it is going to be a tight season
