Cheers, me to in fact can't wait for every single series this year, MotoGP, WSBK and BSB including all the supports going to be some great racing methinks.
Do prefer watching WSB to MGP was watching the WSB 2014 race of the year at Donny last night where TS came from 11th on the grid to winning it awesome race don't see that too often in MGP ,but MGP are racing at Donny this year so will look forward to that . Be interesting to see how SG and the new star in the making MVDM at Honda get on against TS and JR at Kawasaki. Can't wait for the race season to start as running out of things to watch on recordings .
Entry list confirmed A confirmed 26 riders will line-up for the World Superbike Championship in 2015 after the provisional entry list was revealed a month ahead of the opening round in Australia. The entry list reveals little beyond previous announcements, with the only notable inclusion being that of Gabor Rizmayer on the second of the Team Toth BMWs, while Pedercini Kawasaki is still to fill its second seat alongside David Salom. Though the entry list is one short of last year – when it featured the EVO category and the non-scoring Bimotas -, it is the largest single class pre-season entry list for World Superbikes since 2010 and heralds the introduction of new regulations designed to cut costs and level the playing field between factory and privateer teams. Eight manufacturers will participate, with defending champions Aprilia Racing pooling its resources with the Red Devils Roma operation after deciding to focus on its burgeoning MotoGP bid for 2015. It is also one of three manufacturers – along with Ducati and MV Agusta – to bring updated models to the series. Reigning champion Sylvain Guintoli confirms he will run with the #1 plate, while the field will feature eight WSBK rookies, including ex-GP riders Randy de Puniet, Jordi Torres, Nico Terol and Roman Ramos. New team JR Racing BMW, meanwhile, has already announced it won't compete in the opening round due to logistical issues, joining the series in Thailand instead. 2015 Provisional Entry List 1.
