World SBK Round 07 - Acerbis UK Round | May 27 - 29

1.6 seconds off isn't too bad when relearning the track and feeling out the Pirellis. Like you, I think FP2 will show more of what we can expect out of him.

He's been there before 7 years ago. Not bad start IMO. Ahead of VM and 1 sec behind his teammate. 4/10 behind Nicky.

 

I too was looking out for his result relative to Lowes. One second off the pace in FP1 isn't bad at all. I think he'll be further up the order after FP2.

 

He posted a better time that Josh Brookes, who was in BSB for a long time, and won the championship(ironically on the R1) just last year. Donnington should be old hat to Josh.

 

Looks like Chaz with a red flag. Hope he is ok

 

Halfway through FP2 and Cam is P11 ahead of Nicky

 

Yep his bike was on fiyah!

 

More importantly, Cam's just three tenths off of Lowes right now

 

Go Shez!!!

 

BEAUBIER IS LESS THAN TWO TENTHS AWAY FROM HIS TEAMMATE!

Edit: Okay, Lowes just put in a flier. But don't worry, I'll be back soon...

 

You put the jinx on him...Now 8 tenths

 

Exciting stuff!

 

P9 for cam,...1 second from P1

 

Ended four tenths away from Lowes. I'm impressed and I'm sure there is even more to come tomorrow before the race!

 

In case anyone missed it, Mr. Emmett did a fantastic opinion piece about Beaubier, MotoAmerica and future American talent on the world stage. Another fantastic piece as usual, in my opinion.

If Cam finished P10 or better, that would be a great result. Hell Yamaha's highest finish is a P5 and they've had more DNF's than P5/P6 place finishes. P9/P10 is on par with where the full time riders finish

 

Impressive FP 2 times for Cam!!! Really hope he has a good weekend, I'd like to see more of our guys getting the call to ride overseas.

 

Chaz did a really good Colin Edwards Aprilia Cube imitation. Scary stuff.
