[Kurosaki]

With Rossi back on a Yamaha, I'm sure he'll win this round.

 

[Tharkûn]

I'm rooting for MM

 

[kevin 714]

aragon? thats an HP track. apes all the way

 

[Parx400]

V4 domination all weekend........

 

[cencalballer]

It'll be the Apes or Kawi I think. MAybe MM can get up there if he's feeling well.

 

[telly]

Aragon is such a badass track!!

 

[xgambit]

I'm rooting for MM

i agree that marc marquez is good but not that good :x

 

[Spec-ECU]

I'm rooting for Sykes and Kawasaki, just cause an early win this season would really help bridge their momentum from last year's.

But yeah, the Aprilias are off to a great start.

 

[deanzaZZR]

Aprilias (don't discount Fabrizio either) and MM. Sykes was knocked off on the final lap in 3rd position (think he could have used those 16 points?) last year and had an 8th place finish in the other race.

Wait I almost got confused there. Isn't this thread about WSBK?

But yeah I'm likewise rooting for Rossi and MM for the COTA round.

 

[Manimal]

Looking forward to watching.

Here's how I see the race going....

At the start, I see Sykes leading the pack (then fading in typical fashion) with the Aprillia's and BMW's closely behind. I'm pretty sure Checa will be right there with the group and hope to see the two Honda's (Rea and or Haslam) contending with the pack as well. We'll have to see. In the end, it will be Aprilia's within at least top 2, and a BMW finishing podium. None the less, as always, the race(s) are going to be exciting to watch! :ride

<edited to add Haslam in the mix>

i feel that if we could all watch QP at the very least, these threads would be more interesting.

 

[Spec-ECU]

It is my secret hope that Dorna's involvement in WSBK will see this series' media coverage benefit from it.

 

[Climber]

I think that Chaz Davies is going to be the guy to watch this year.

Anybody have the scoop on TV channel and race times?
