    Bautista fastest so far in FP1, but there 10 minutes to go. No live audio on the WSBK app :(

    Starting in FP2 I believe there's live coverage (not in the app) on their website.

    Well Morowaki is really showing Honda how not to do it. They are behind a privateer Althea Honda. Baz on the Ten Kate is a second faster, so clearly it was the Ten Kate team's fault for the poor performance of the Honda last year.

    I am just hoping for a good battle at the front. Hopefully some of the others can get the track figured out and be up there with JR and Bautista

    Bautista still in front after FP2, but only 1/10th in front of Rea, followed by Rinaldi. It’s kind of weird when the race is pretty much in your own time zone.

    I saw many didn’t go out till the end in FP1. Rain? Haven’t seen FP2 results yet.

    Watching qualifying right now, the track is still pretty bad.

    The Q tire didn’t work. Probably too much grip on the rear pushing the front.

    They just have a hurricane? The track looks like a beach.

    Looks like a bunch of guys are not even going to bother racing.

    Yeah can't they find a big spinning brush on a tractor somewhere in Argentina?

    That looks like a MotoAmerica superbike field. Anyone who doesn't crashes is guaranteed three points.

    Worst grip conditions i have ever seen for being dry. Crazy stuff. Track just looks dirty ..

    So are there that many DNS because of the track conditions? Where are the fans? The stands are empty. Very sad.

    What a shit show. Never seen the bikes look that unmanageable in dry conditions with the riders struggling to hold a line and simply keep their knee down.
