World Supersport and Superbike Championships 2007 Round 5, Assen

Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) won his second race of the season after a dramatic weekend of Supersport action at Donington which saw Sofuoglu leave round three with a 27-point lead. During a strong day for Honda finishers, Robbin Harms was second, Katsuaki Fujiwara (Althea Honda Team CBR600RR) a battling third and Craig Jones fourth. 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!

Keep you eyes out for the XR 1200 single make series this year it should be good racing. A couple of big names have signed up allready. I bought a road going one just befor christmass and if its anything to go on the racers will be fantastic. There is something verry satisfiying about going up the inside of an R1 on a roundabout on a big twin,sat bolt up right pretending your not trying, depending how long the next straight is most of the time they come back past so you can do it again at the next twisty bit,Deep joy.
