This weekend it's the eight round of the World Superbike championship on the new track layout of Misano (going clockwise now).

I think Haga should be favourite at the moment, he's been smashing the last 2 rounds.

There has been some very weird news surrounding the Alto evolution team the last couple of weeks. I have only read this news on the dutch website racesport.nl, so don't know if it is true.

Muggeridge and Brookes are NOT going to take part in Misano. The reason is:

After the Silverstone race the truck driver for the Alto Evolution team was halted on the boat from Dover to Calais in France by ex team owner Bertocchi. After being kidnapped for several hours, the Alto Evolution truck was missing when the driver was released. It is said that the current team and Bertocchi are NOT friends (!). The Police has found the truck and bikes, but now a judge has to decide what is going to happen. This decision will be made after the Misano race and therefore the team can not touch the truck with the bikes...

You don't find these kind of stories in the F1 forum :-)
