World Superbikes - Latest betting news from Monza, Italy

WORLD SUPERBIKES – MONZA, ITALY

You can bet on the Italian Superbikes from Monza at Blue Square and Bet 365.

Troy Bayliss only needs one more Superpole win to equal Carl Fogarty’s record of 21 career starts from the number one slot on the grid. Bayliss has confirmed that he retire from World Superbikes at the end of this season. He has managed to amass a 70 point lead in the Championship, winning 5 of 8 races and finishing runner-up twice. Carlos Checa is Bayliss’ closest rival in his first season in World Superbikes. The 35-year-old, from Barcelona, has twice taken the second step on the podium, but a win is elusive. Troy Corser has made the podium on three times occasions, but the dual World Champion has not won since 2006. Fonsi Nieto and Ruben Xaus, another two Spaniards, occupy fourth and fifth places in this season’s standings. In sixth place is Noriyuki Haga, who seems to be returning to form. The Japanese rider had a win and a second place at Valencia and Assen. Max Neukirchner has been racing in World Superbikes since 2005 and had a podium finish at the Netherlands round. Max Biaggi has had some disappointing results so far this season, although breaking his wrist hasn’t help his campaign.…

Oxford v Cambridge Boat Race 2008

THE OXFORD – CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE

HISTORY
Members of both teams are traditionally known as “blues,” with Cambridge in light blue and Oxford dark blue. The Boat Race has become an esteemed event on the British amateur sporting calendar, but started in 1829 as a challenge between former schoolmates. Charles Merivale of Cambridge challenged Charles Wordsworth (nephew of poet William) of Oxford to a rowing race. The inaugural Boat Race, won by Oxford, took place at Henley-on-Thames. By 1839, the Boat Race had become an annual contest, taking place in London, between Westminster and Putney. It soon became extremely popular, and in order to accommodate the large numbers of spectators, the race took place between Putney and Mortlake (the current course) for the first time in 1845. From its inception up to…
