1.14.2008 translated from MotoGrandPrix.it

In the next few days, if not now, the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) will divulge the official entry list of the champions under egidia FG Sport, for all categories, World SBK, Supersport, Superstock 1000 and 600.  While we’re waiting here at MotoGrandPrix.it, we were able to get a preview of the official entry list for all categories, starting with World SBK, where all riders where already defined for the last month.  Like you can see in the list that we report below, it does not bear to what was previously published.  Only three riders have changed their numbers, Makoto Tamada, Shuhei Aoyama and Loic Napoleone. The ex MotoGP  rider has changed from #6 to #100, while the national champion is coming from the World 250cc class has chosen #88 in place of #73: for both riders its a return to the past, considering that those numbers are the numbers where they achieved their previous successes within their national championships on the grounds of  Sol Levante (SBK for Tamada, All-Japan 125 and 250 for Aoyama).  For the rest, nothing new: 28 registered permanently,  the most riders for Italy with 7 riders, and with a good 9 Honda’s on the track (the most representative brand).  Here for you is the official entry list for the World SBK 2008…
