The man in black
on the following Saturday or Sunday, so you had to keep track of it. And talking of TV this year, so far as we can see, there will be no terrestrial WSB coverage at all, and that will be a shame.

Bearded GP paddock oracle Mike Scott tells all

Niall’s special friend has been riding the ‘08 Fireblade, and by all accounts it’s an incredible new bike. You needn’t worry about the styling when you’re riding it, he reckons...

First Ride: Honda VTR1000 SP-2
By John Cantlie on 29/03/2008 16:21:42

The horror loos of Vallelunga
James recollects the horror loos of Vallelunga, and what it really takes to be a racing privateer with a Transit van and a willing mate...Just got back from Vallelunga. This sinewy little circuit just north of Rome hosted Round 12 of the WSB series
