Superbikes

Honda riders continued their domination of the 2006 World Supersport Championship, but unlike the first three races of the season, world championship leader Sebastien Charpentier (Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) was not the winner. That honour went to WSS rookie Yoann Tiberio (Megabike Honda CBR600RR) who turned an eighth place qualifying performance into an impressive victory in front of a sun-drenched Italian crowd. Honda riders have won every race this season and Monza delivered the first all Honda podium of the season to boot. Honda now leads the Manufacturers

Interesting how many of this years Superbike grid have either started out riding trials or still ride a trials bike. James Toseland, rode schoolboy trials in the East Midlands, Chris Walker former motocrosser and last I heard rides a Beta, Craig Jones got a Montesa for Christmas and former WSBK rider Garry McCoy has a couple of 4RT's Biggest trials nut out there is my old mate Steve Martin who has a Sherco 4T, Beta Rev3, 125 & 350 Bultaco Sherpas and....understandably an SWM Keep an eye out for him this weekend at Phillip Island, bet he wont put his foot down once!
