The first round of the AMA Superbike Championship is at Daytona and is televised live on March 12, 16:15 GMT, on Motors TV. I know what I'll be doing...Go Hodgson! Remember, Ducati have NEVER won the Daytona 200.

But wasn't that "a guy on a Ducati", as opposed to Ducati Motor?

Looks like we aint never gonna get a Ducati winner of the 200.The race is now for the Formula Extreme bikes,ie super tuned 600's.There are a couple of 749R's in there,qualifying in 23rd and 30th. DuHamel is on pole.
The Superbikes are on earlier in the day.

Yes, reportedly done for safety reasons as the tyres won't last for 200 miles on Superbike. Ducati has struggled in the past to last the 200 miles. With the shorter race (70k) it should at least make it to the finish.

Hodgy qualified third and on the front row, full grid here. It looks like the Suzuki's are plenty fast but Honda are not quite there yet. Sort of similar to the first WSB race. It'll be interesting to see how the first BSB race ends up.

The race is on at 11:15 local time on Saturday, or 4:15PM on Motors-TV!

Keefy, looks like we're the only one paying attention here.

I'm with you there mate!
Interesting interview of Mat Mladin on the AMA website,He says he could'nt have gone any faster and used Hodgy's slipstream to make the time.A bit of respect there methinks!

Wasn't paying attention in here, but in the other thread

I wish I could get Motors TV with Telewest! I'm a bit gutted about the superbikes not doing the 200 though, just doesn't seem right.
