british superbikes - go aussies

[gomick]

although no aussie riders are in the superbike class......

in 600 supersport, suzuki's paul young won his 2nd race of the season - kirk mccarthy continues to lead the points by 20 from matt llewellyn

1.k.mccarthy 131
2.m.llewellyn 111

5.p.young 93
8.g.richards 44

in superstock, paul young recorded his first dnf of the year, but still has a healthy points lead

1.p.young 141
2.d.jefferies 101

6.g.richards 60
9.k.ashkenazi 31

and in 125cc gp, casey stoner continues to dominate each race he enters - casey won his 5th race of the season on the weekend

1.c.stoner 125
2.p.robinson 102

Good luck to all the australians out there, they are doing an excellent job. All we need to do now is get them up into GP and SBK and join the other Aussies already there.

if only there were so many factory rides .....its a pity for the likes of marty craggill and steve martin.
for marty, he is riding around getting lapped, he is definitly better than that, but i dont think he will be lucky enough to get a factory ride next year - not even for kawasaki who he won 2 australian superbike titles for....as for steve, he has had some great qualifying runs, but the pirelli tyres (which he is the only rider on) dont seem to match the dunlops and whatever else is going around in wsbk....

broc parkes has been great in his 1st wsbk year.....think if foggy starts a new team he should get broc and james toseland to ride

Yes, it is a shame about those Pirelli's, but if they are happy with the progress then Steve should be able to continue with them as they grow.

Now Parkes in a front running team? I'd like to see that.

i definitely agree elephino

with a bit of luck steve gets another shot next year, though i just hope his sponsorship $$$$ from a sydney ducati firm ( i think ) can go another year - if not, pirelli should decide on whether they are serious about bike racing or not....
