    Blah Blah Blah, they couldn't get the good rubber in America. :Poke:

    Kidding, of course, and thanks for the answer.

    The UK Dunlops were great, but we're also comparing them to what we had at the time which is nowhere near as good as what we have today. The US Dunlops have come a long way. They definitely have a different feel from Pirellis, and as I said before, I think alot of riders like that feeling and this is Dunlop's second attempt to capture it. Perhaps with a softer carcass but slightly harder compound. We shall see.

    I don't think this weekend will tell us much, though. You get 3 sessions, are you going to risk one of them on a new tire? No mid season tire test scheduled this year.

    I'm thinking that the top 4 SBK guys are forced to try it to make sure they have the same advantage if another rider gets fast and likes the feel.
    Then you're forced to do a race distance eval to make sure it's OK. And these top 4 (or even 6) are good enough riders to be able to adapt and resort back to last year's front if needed.

    Not to disrespect Olmedo as he’s a very good rider. But can you imagine all of the info Hayes is providing the N2 team. That’s gotta help them the remainder of the season.

    Really happy for Doyle!
    Anyone have the story of Rocco?

    Have you ever seen a cat play with a captured bird? Only observing from live timing but Hayes appears to be enjoying himself!

    Live+ stated it was a front brake caliper issue. Evidently they were sticking .

    I really thought Escalante and Team Hammer figured some things out the prior round so I was expecting him to be further up in the order from the get go. Lots of time left though.
    Gagne is on it per usual. The dude is on another level.

    I think most of the issues are being created from the rider’s themselves as they try and straight line it and berm off the inside curbing . The transitions in and out look OK to me but no idea.
