So is this the round Tom Sykes gets his win? Does Davide Giugliano get on the top step? what about Chaz Davies? Shakes off the bad luck to stop the steamroller that is Johnny Rea?

discuss.

 

Nice to see Camier on the MV a little closer to the front of the pack. Good to see the S1000RR mixing it up as well. Lowes is less than a half second back too. This could turn out to be a good race.

 

Be nice if Suzuki gets their head outta their ass so Lowes can deliver.

 

Come on Sykes! I would appreciate it if you could piss in your teammates Cheerios this weekend.

 

He lead the first practice!

I know, we talking bout practice. Still, good to see.


On another note, Go PJ!

 

Rea
Sykes
Anything else Green
Everyone Else

 

Doh! totally forgot to mention anything about PJ, but yeah, GO PJ!

Rea
Davies
Giugliano

is what i hope for the podium, but i wont be surprised if Sykes and Haslam make an appearance. Injury to Haslam might make it a bit tough though.

 

Rea
Haslam
Davies


Guiliano will crash out. Sykes will be competitive early but fade to a distant 4th or 5th. Torres will have a good battle with someone for the second half of the race.

 

Damn!

I haven't been keeping a close eye on WSBK this year. I can't believe Rea has a nearly 90 points lead already.

 

Rea.... Then everyone else. Dude is on a roll!

As yeah, go PJ!!

Btw looks like BEIN finally realized there's a SS and are airing it

 

Paul Denning the manager will gaurantee that NEVER happens dude.

 

davides weekend

The fact that BeIN is showing the SS race makes me extremely happy. Between WSBK and the MotoAmerica VIR recap, I'll be spending a lot of quality time on the couch this weekend!

 

it is interesting that canepa is slower on the zx-10 so far. I know it's new to him but still.

 

Go Sykes!!

 

Imagine if they removed one of the front brake discs and calipers to boot.

 

Anyone know if PJ likes this track? he raced here with BSB, right?

he did and in wss last year. He is as fast as usual but the BSB wildcards are on fire. I think Ryde would have readily beat sofaglue had he not been down on straight line power.
