Anyone you rate? Or is it "Vander Goober 4 2005 WSS Champ?"

[SALEEN S7R]

I think VD Goorbergh is probably going to take this years championship personally. He did a good job last year and ran Muggeridge close all year, of course someone else could beat him but id put my money on Goorbergh or Parkes as a outsider.

Where did Fabien Foret go? Wasn't he meant to be Fabrizio's teammate on the Megabike Honda?

[Alex Toropov]

Fabien is still there someone just lost the ending...

it's interesting that Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra is still here in WSS
Katsu wrote on his personal site, that "next year Suzuki Alstare has made the decision not to compete in the 600cc class and I still have my heart set on taking out the Supersports championship so I had no choice but to change teams"
i wonder why they decided to drop Chambon & Fuji then, if they are still here...

Maybe Alstare have scaled back their support for the series, and had to hire a cheaper rider? It's a shame Fabrizio and Nannelli won't be competing at a higher level, but at least there's a fairly strong field with several genuine title contenders, although JvdG is favourite.
