2014 WSBK No-Spoiler Catch-All Thread

Is Suzuki now a factory team? Or Honda?

Saw a tweet from David on motomatters that SBK is going to offer a video pass similar to MotoGP's this season. Now i'll have to explain to the miss why this one is necessary to.

A brand-new worldsbk.com to welcome the upcoming season



The “WSBK VideoPass” will also be available soon, featuring Live* and OnDemand broadcasting of all rounds and exclusive video content.

*If available in your Country

You don't get points for testing....

I just got my tickets bought for Laguna Seca round this July Woohoo

I want to go, but without the support races, I'd rather go to the sports car race in May.

Bloody good start tho...

Like I said, not too long till the real thang, ( Thank fook!), then we shall see. Still, after A.L.'s season just gone, I'm rather looking forward to him being here, he really could be a major factor. Hope so.

Bring it on!

They have to have some kind of support races, maybe AMA as they have that weekend free.

If not the historics and the new Tudor series might be an option

I'm talking about the world championship support series.

And yes, I already asked for the week off for TUDOR. I used to live up there so it'll be nice to hang out.

28 more days til Phillip Island

I want to see Thruxton Cup in the corkscrew!

The 2014 World Superbike kicks off in February, and you can watch the entire season right here on beIN SPORTS.

Best coverage of racing in the USA

wow this kid is right here home grown local and now he is officially in for a WSBK ride.

no links or photos to the Ducati unveiling?? I did see a photo of the # 7 bike on Chaz's FB page... here

Go here. I think the key word is 'Challenge'.......

Cant wait to see Lowes on the Suzuki with Laverty. Thats going to be a good strong team for sure. Kawi, Suzuki, and Aprilia all have solid teams. What a great season it is going to be.

Gonna be lots of green this year. I'm also extremely pleased that Sykes is going with the number 1 plate.
