    I had to dig through the last few years of results to figure out that World SBK has not been to Brno since 2012.

    It's also been since right around Brno 2012 that BMW did anything significant in WSBK :D

    I'm curious to see if Van Der Mark becomes a consistent threat. I bet he'll have a whole lot more confident after doing the double last time out.

    Ducati *should* do better here with the stop and go.

    Maybe even challenge Rea?

    Brno is one of my favorite tracks. I'd love to ride there someday.

    Why is there a Giant on the Podium?

    Sykes doesnt look the same without the beard.

    Ronaldi takes fastest time from Baz on a drying track in FP1. Rea sets thing back to normal in FP2.

    ...or is there a midget? I guess you could say there's a giant, a midget, and an average guy.

    Rinaldi’s Ducati went boom and stopped FP3. Gagne and Jacobsen are at the bottom of the timing sheet.:(

    I really hope when they come to Laguna they're at least in the points

    The Honda’s are not showing well, but Camier was able to get his into 9th in FP3 and he’s 8 tenths off of Rea in first. As long as Camier is riding the wheels off the bike, Jake and PJ will be expected to narrow that gap.

    Jeez, red flag, restart,jump starts, re-restart...what else can go wrong?

    That restart was a cluster fuck and then it turned into another boring race for the most part.

    There hasn't been any progression from either rider. It's gonna be next American up soon

    I wasn’t sure if Lowes was going to take first or find a way to throw it away while leading.

    Congratulations to Lowes on his first Superbike win! What a crash fest from the fast guys. Sykes crash was weird as he was down the instant he touched the throttle. Failed TC or bad TC map?

    Gagne rode a decent race as was only 7 seconds back from Camier over an 18 lap race. That is only about 0.4 seconds per lap. Less if you count the deficit at the start due to grid position. PJ was only a couple of seconds behind that. It is progress. The fact Melandri and Sykes could only manage 15th and 16th after remounting shows how tight the grid is.

    Friggin electricity went out for 5 minutes. By the time my receiver rebooted and went through it process I was only able to catch the 1st 2 laps then the the last 5. Missed the crashes .

    ^ Get a UPS battery backup, about $60 from Office Depot or wherever. With all the t-storms in Fl and flickering/momentary power outages this has saved my sanity countless times.

    Just watched the SS race and it was pretty good. I like Cluzel and his chicken hat wearing fans.

    Did Sykes take out Rea? Didn't hear much about it after the race but it sure looked like he knocked down his own teammate. That dude seems like a dick.
