Thanks Woz but do you know when the cut-off date for riders is please?

Looks like 30 is the official list - go for it !!!!

BSB announces 30-strong 2009 line-up The British Superbike Championship is set for another fiercely competitive season after unveiling a 30-strong starting grid, featuring British and International riders aboard machines produced by five manufacturers.

The series, which begins at Brands Hatch on Easter Monday, 13 April, has bucked the trend of some major championships by maintaining a high entry level despite the current economic downturn and boasts four factory-backed teams.

Much of the early season attention will be focussed on the Airwaves backed GSE team which this year has switched from the Ducatis which have powered it to three British titles to running the latest Yamaha R1s in the hands of James Ellison, a rider who won the Privateers Cup five years ago before embarking on MotoGP and then American action, and Leon Camier.

They have already tested strongly, but will need to be at their best as they face the daunting challenge of the twin Aussie force of reigning British Supersport Champion Glen Richards and Josh Brookes who are spearheading the HM Plant Honda bid to regain British racing's premier crown.

Sylvain Guintoli switches from MotoGP to head up the Crescent Suzuki challenge, and the Leicestershire based Frenchman has impressed already with his speed and style in testing. He is joined in the Suzuki ranks by Ian Lowry and Atsushi Watanabe who are riding in Relentless TAS colours.

Kawasaki have a strong presence with twice World Endurance Champion Julien da Costa and Simon Andrews riding for the MSS Colchester equipe while Tristan Palmer and John Laverty, last term's Daily Star Cup champion, ride for the Buildbase backed Hawk team. Kenny Gilbertson races a similar bike backed by JX Fuelcard.

Stuart Easton impressed the Hydrex Honda team with his determined ride at the Macau Grand Prix and that has earned the young Scot a place with them alongside the experienced Karl Harris who has moved over from the Rob McElnea Yamaha team.

McElnea who seems to be the best prepared of the Yamaha teams has the latest R1s for Chris Walker and Graeme Gowland, running in Motorpoint/Henderson colours while Michael Rutter rides for Coca-Cola Zero NW 200. Jon Kirkham is another Yamaha rider, with the Lloyds British team, while David Johnson rides for Team Maxxis Branson.

Jason O'Halloran, the young Aussie who caught the eye in a handful of rides at the end of last season returns with the SMT Honda while Aaron Zanotti has a Fireblade running with the Red Viper team which also enters Alastair Fagan into a strong Daily Star Cup championship within a championship.

Quick question ...................is it is still BSN forum fantasy league or BSB forum?

It is called BSB Fantasy League because it's British Superbikes!  It is based here due to the BSN link for the Just-Giving site, but as some people still post on both forums, with the dark side having most members, it seemed silly not to post it there as well as here so that the more people who see the link for the league, the more will hopefully join in and swell the CJ Funds!

I had thought about just posting the link here but felt that some people who aren't members here, may miss out so I went for maximum coverage and hope that's OK with people.
