Has anyone heard about the new rules to take place next year in WSBK? The first one is the restrictors are allowed to be taken out of the gixers, R1's, etc. (inline fours) which most people know about. But they also said about one tyre manufacturer is to be used by all riders which is more than likely to be Pirelli, meaning Dunlop etc. will not be used! They say this makes the racing more competative and makes it 'fair' for all the teams and riders. Anyone know anything else about this?

Oh, and as no one else mentioned it, Shakey won both wsbk races this weekend Cool Not bad for someone who grew up on a council estate with next to no money just pure talent/skill.

There are also going to be tighter regs on what can/can't be done to the bikes. The main manufacturers are no happy bunnies, cos they've already been developing next years race bikes to the old rules.

There's talk of them all pulling out as factory teams.

Not good. Not good at all.
