I am puilling for haga, looked like he had it last year, but both he and spies had some bad luck and spies won out.

Should be a more competitive field this year though.

Haga for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if Crutchlow was running up in the top 3 consistently.

Haga has the team, the bike, the experience and skill, but no damn luck.
Toseland knows the ropes and still hassomething to prove.
Corser has a better developed Beemer.
Biaggi has a rippin' ride and crazy determined attitude. I cannot wait.

agreed. If max can keep the kind of pace and consistancy he had at the end of the season last year this shits in the bag. I worry about his age though, you could clearly see him fighting fatigue later in races. Still, i suppose consistant max beats kamikaze max :)

Hey Dave, can you modify the poll to show what each of them is riding?

Tentatively, I want to root for Haga but here we are again with a rookie on a Yamaha...I think if the team can curb Cal's "win it or bin it" attitude and the team can learn how to put gas in the bike/avoid unnecessary mechanical problems, he stands a very good chance of stealing the championship imho.

I was kinda counting on his age to slow him and make him more consistent...

Fabrizio will be will make a showing. He isnt fast but his bike and team are.

Oh hardy, har, har..... I know Suzuki has been sucking it in WSBK for the last few years. Why they didn't sign Spies is a complete mystery to me... I'm looking forward to 2011 when they unveil the new GSXR1000, my guess is that they'll get with the program and try to come up with something to beat the BMW and others in the hp and electronics arena. We'll see, it's definitely time for Suzuki to step up their game with both the 1000 and the 600 before they lose all of their race cred.

it seems they really wanted to take honda's place as most roadable bike. Personally i hope they get a little less conservative with the styling. Its gonna be real interesting now that at least 3/4 are releasing bikes in the same year.
