For all you disallutioned F1 fans - there is an answer.

World Superbike Championship is *pure* racing at it's very finest. At Monza the four front runners were neck and neck for the entire length of the *two* (not one) races, constantly doing breath taking overtaking and breaking manouvres.

It will have you on the edge of your seat *guarenteed*

plus you get cheeky Suzy Perry thrown in

Totally agree, Formula one for me now is like watching paint dry

These boys just can race, it's a joy to watch Plus they're all likeable guys and they're all friends, not stuck up their own ***** like F1.

Neil Hodgson rode two fantastic races I thought, he deserved to come away with more points. Then there's Toseland and Walker making three brits in the top ten a regular event

OOH... Suzy Perry, marks out of ten, I'd give her one She is actually a really good presenter, the comentary team are really good too with the added bonus of no James Allen which has to be a good thing

Bob,

Well put, I forgot to mention that Niel Hodgeson is doing really well in his first World SB season. He's settled in nicely.

I fancy going to the test day at Silverstone too, it sounds like fun and only a fiver to get in, which then goes to charity

Assen is absolutely amazing, went there 3 years straight! Take the bike, not the car!!

Don't worry about missing the Scoob too much as the Assen Circuit Course Cars are Scoobies!!So you get to watch them get **** it round the track.

Robin - Knaphill, where's that? Only joking! hehe
