Fiat Yamaha Team rider Jorge Lorenzo will take part in this week's MotoGP test in Qatar, four weeks after breaking a bone in his right thumb during a training incident.

The recovery has gone well and the hand is no longer swollen, but he needs to continue with physiotherapy in order to keep repairing the muscle around the break.

The World Superbike Championship for 2010 got underway at the undulating track of Phillip Island on the 28th February in what turned out to be a fascinating encounter. We are now going to have a look back over the action and analyze what we can, as the competition crossed swords for the first time in anger. Xerox Ducati The first thing that is plainly obvious is that the dominant team of 2009 is likely to be just as dominant this year and that team is obviously Ducati. The team has maintained its presence as the pace makers and with no personnel changes to worry about, apart from the departure of Davide Tardozzi, it looks as though the team will once again play a major role in deciding where the title ends up.

As a nation, we love bikes, and we also love to tinker. The author here is no exception, having spent far more money on various bikes than he probably should have, but the feeling of having a bike that's customised to your tastes and riding style is a logical extension of owning a bike for a lot of people.
