The FIM today officially released the provisional entry lists for the World Superbike and World Supersport championships for 2010. The lists had been released unofficially last week, when a programming error meant they were available on the official WSBK timing site with a little bit of CGI parameter tweaking.
The new lists see 3 extra riders added to both the World Superbike and the World Supersport grids, bringing the numbers up to 26 and 21 respectively. One name shown in the leaked list is missing from the official World Superbike list, however, as Matteo Baiocco, who was down to ride the DFX Corse machine, is listed as being TBA (To Be Announced). There is much speculation that the DFX Corse ride will be filled once again by Regis Laconi, the French veteran who was injured so badly at last year's South African round of World Superbikes at Kyalami.
The most significant change in the World Supersport list is the removal of Australian veteran Garry McCoy and his replacement by Jason DiSalvo and Sebastien Charpentier, a move that generated much controversy earlier this week. Other than that, two teammates, of Robbin Harms and Bastien Chesaux, are yet to be named.
