Phillip Island, Australia | WSBK 2014

A week away. Fucking bring it.

Testing going on now, as normal. Most of the teams are there. News as we get it.

Oh hell yes! I can't believe the season opener is finally here.

 

Can't wait. Video Pass is ready!

 

I can't afford the Video Pass, so now I'll have to be careful around here and stop visiting Roadracing News to avoid spoilers until someone gets around to posting the races on YT again this year.

Then again, with the VP in place Dorna might crack down on that like they did with MotoGP footage being posted.

[Sigh] It's hard to be a poor fan of international motorcycle racing

 

Yes but they have a tv package

 

...on a channel I can't get through my cable system. :down:

 

That sucks. Cox just added it for free, total surprise. Down side is you have to have cox.

 

Is BeIn still showing the races this year??

 

Looks like a tough test so far for EBR, let's hope they make some strides. I'm sure it sucked having to swap motors on both bikes already.

Phillip Island WorldSBK Test Day 1

 

Well that explains the times or lack of :up:

 

Is there a motor limit this year for Superbikes? If so, I think EBR may hit that limit trying to squeeze too much power from their power plant to keep up with the other machines.

 

beIN has it but you have to have a $100/mo DirecTV package to get it.

 

Glad to see the Panigale competing!

 

Did the Alstare Bimota fail Homologation?

 

does WSBK not run into the same issues with the surface that GP did?

 

They did last year. Hence all the head scratching when MotoGP was totally surprised by the tire issues.

 

They failed like the fat kid at a pull test.

If the new EBR requires the same "clear the rest of your afternoon" time the AMA superbike did to swap a motor, then no laps in session 2 is believable.

But not understandable.
