RIGHT CORNERS:5
LEFT CORNERS:7

START/FINISH STRAIGHT:835 M


It's hard to believe the season is starting up this weekend. Superpole at 8:30 pm Saturday night, followed by Supersport Superpole (that sounds redundant), the Superbike Race 1.

 

Holy crap that track map is yuuuge!

 

Alright! Let's go Suzu... nevermind.

 

It's also labeled wrong. Stoner corner is T3. T4 is Honda Corner.

 

Live T&S is up for the final test: http://www.worldsbk.com/en/live+timing+extended

As in Right Now

 

Session's over. Hayden in a not so lucky 13th 1.4 seconds back from Rea in 1st. I hope things get better.

 

I nerded-out and made this. Times are CST.

EDIT: Live video times are for the WSBK website. I don't know what BeIN has going on.

 

PJ looks quick!

I hope he keeps the shiny side up this year! 'Murica!

Also, for those that didn't know, Kenan Sofuoglu did some further damage to his thumb at this test and is going to miss the PI and Thailand races. Basically, the championship was just blown wide open for the taking.

 

Bummer for him, but hopefully PJ takes full advantage of this.

 

Go PJ!

Hopefully Hayden can make some progress on that bike... but in the mean time ill keep rooting for Johnny Rea and Chaz to make an exciting championship.

 

Not looking very good for Nicky, but you can't really put the fault on him when is teammate is 0.8 further back. Hopefully Honda can get that "new" Fireblade sorted out soon.

 

Looks like we will get more of the same. Kawi and Ducati at the top. Looks Like MV and Leon Camier have made some progress on their platform. Rooting for Chaz to bring it home this year. Melandri and Xavi Fores look to challenges the top guys.

 

I kinda want to see Melandri on top this year.

 

Melandri gonna piss some people off.
Probably Sykes

 

Has DaveK talked shit about Mlandri yet?

 

He picked him to win. That's good enough.

I guess that it's time to renew my WSBK Video Pass. 69,90 euros looks to be around $73 currently.

Go PJ!

 

Laverty better get that f'ing Ape sorted quick.
