Yup, in less than one month, on February 27th, the 1st race of the 2011 season will be here

The race will be at the beautifully located Phillip Island on the coast of Austrailia, thus officially beginning the 2011 race season...
So let's talk some trash, and vote for a future champ...
The current champ, Max Biaggi, is returning for yet another year and bringing with him quite a few familiar faces, not to mention a few new ones as well...Mad Max was dominant in 2010, winning 10 races and getting on the rostrum countless other times...So I'll be hoping for a little more competition from all these new rides...
Personally, I'll be pulling for Jonathan Rea and his CBR 1000RR

However, I'm keenly aware of the skill level of Max, Toseland, Haslam, Fabrizio, and always a bridesmaid Haga...And I'm sure they'll be a darkhorse rider battling up front the way Checa did last year...
So let's get it on
