Chance of a Suzuki win?
What do you reckon are the chances of another bike than the Ducatis winning a WSBK race this season? I think Suzuki are the only ones who can seriously challenge and possibly Lavilla in the remaining 6 races? What does anyone think?

I rekon the final round at Magny Cours is their best shot, as it is a new track for everybody. So if they can get the best setup, they have a good shot of winning - maybe even a double?

Lavilla's on provisional pole for Assen so he should be up there this weekend. Let's hope he can win at least 1 of the 6 remaining races.

If Lavilla can keep the bike upright, he's always got a good chance of victory.

Reynolds at Assen this weekend can only help. Is he in for the rest of the year or just this round.
I'd honestly be suprised if Lavilla doesn't score a victory before the end of the year. It all depends on how Fila Ducati developed thre bike bike during the summer break. |

this weekend is suzuki's best chance - for some reason hodgson will be just riding around for a finish to clinch the title even though he is 150 points or whatever ahead - go troy corser and the foggy petronas, will this bike be any good in 2004

He should go full out for victory, not sit back and cruise round. Colin Edwards only had, what, a 6 point lead going into the final race this year, and he went for the win. Hodgson should do the same. |

i hope lavilla gets a win this season, he's worked his nads off on that gixxer and he's had so much bad luck, remember the thou is only in its first year and he is always there or there aboute. good luck gregorio lets see u take one win at least

Lavilla rode very well in the second race, but it's apparent that the two Fila Ducati's still have a small advantage.

Don't know if he could have held off the Dukes in race 1, he was trying so hard. Maybe Neil but maybe not Xaus - he was on a mission!
But well done to Gregorio - he's still a great racer and a well-deserved podium! |
