WSB At Qatar This Weekend


WSB, the earlybird series, will finish three rounds before MotoGP even gets started. This Saturday, it's round 2 at Losail, Qatar. The one kilometre long straight and two shorter straights have favoured the Ducatis in the past so Haga could very well get the double and Fabrizio could do well. Other bikes have been evolving so Ducati's advantage may have faded a bit, and it will be interesting to see how the new Aprilia and BMW of Biaggi and Corser go on this track. Both riders have done well here before so the question is whether the bikes are up to it. Barring crashes, I'm guessing one or both Ducatis on both podiums, with the other spots filled by Spies, Neukirchner, Haslam or maybe even Biaggi. In the unlikely event of rain, all bets are off and it's anybody's motorcycle race.
