Haslam to partner Corser.

Toseland must be sick as a dog, it'd have been his if Suzuki hadn't released Leon.

He's not had the best couple of years, but he's still 7th in the standings to be fair. There's no doubt Haslam's earned an opportunity this year though.

Haslam deserves a decent ride. I can't help but think we might see Toseland in BSB next season. I don't think he'd want to take on a second-rate WSB ride and I can't imagine the big teams queueing up for him at the moment.

Rumours are that Ten Kate and Suzuki are both possibilities. Can't see him going back to BSB unless he has absolutely no option. I don't think there's a good ride currently available in BSB, is there?

Not sure either have anything available though. Who would you shed in favour of JT?

Dunno, that would depends on who leaves. Whoever wins will be looking for a route into WSB (I'd guess).

For some reason I can't see a hole that Hill, Brookes of Kiyo would slot into.... WSB almost looks closed to me this year, and I'd be surprised if a team would take a chance on any of the top few BSB guys over Toseland... There's just no standout rider IMO.

True. It's my opinion that BSB has been on the wane for several seasons and GSE pulling out really didn't help. WSB's not looking too healthy either. Maybe Hill or Brookes would spend a year biding their time in WSS (they've both been there before). I really don't know about Toseland (his performance this year has me confused - he's better than this!).

He should try for a Superstock ride. At least it's not exactly going backwards then.

Actually think BSB has been okay this season. It's funny that we'd pretty much written off Rutter, and he's been putting in some decent rides. Just wish I could actually see more of the races...bloody terrestrial tv and it's limited range of sport!!!

Little Westy from BSB Superstock has been riding his tail off too. Thumbs Up

Colin Edwards is no longer Mister Consistent either, for years I'd have him in my Fantasy League, but not this season.

Oh and I have a bone to pick with Mr Brookes, for ages I have nattered to him on FB, but now he's in BSB and become famous, he's got a fan page, but his RL FB page has gone... Sad
