Anyone got one?
I'll go for one in WSS.
The Triumph SC team will hit the podium consistently.
They will finish the season in at least the top 3 team position , possibly at a minimum, the top 3 for rider position too at the end of the season..

... well it won't be a Brit winning WSB this year .... as there aren't any.
Seems a bit of a cock up by the organisers not to ensure there is some Brit in the competition - particularly as we have more than our share of rounds.

Yup, But I guess Nitro Nori will still have his UK following.

The Australian may struggle to be fully fit in time for the opening round of the 2008 World Superbike championship, at Qatar on February 23, and is sure to miss some - if not all - of the remaining pre-season tests.

Ah yes, rider injuries aside, the big bore Duke does have a significant advantage.
Not sure why they changed the rules to let Ducati run this when they already have a 1litre 4 cylinder production machine.
OK the Desmodecici may be a limited production bike and maybe doesn't quite meet the minimum production numbers .... but it will come a lot closer to it than the FP1 ever did - and that was allowed to race.
