WSBK 2017 | Round 1 | Australia | 24-26 Feb

Watching the WSS Q2 on worldsbk.com now. Go PJ!

 

10:55 coverage starts on BEIN. Just watched the Season preview there.

Bein does not suck.

 

Pirelli created Q tires that last for ~4 laps now they said.....nifty.


EDIT: what bikes are eligible for the new 300 class? Just the Ninja, R3 and CBR? I'd imagine the KTM would blow them away if they were eligible right?

 

Nice to see a few yamahas on the grid now. I expected Tuuli to do better though. Last year he only did like 3 races and podiumed in all I think, fighting it out with sofouglu. That guy is fast!!

I hope PJ wins though! With Kenan out for 2 rounds, this year is his best chance! Hopefully his bike holds out and can win. Then Cluzel will be so pissed since they basically swapped bikes

 

looks like Tuuli is up there too! That guy was awesome to watch in the few races he did last year! He's got some serious potential!

 

Local boy PJJ on top!

 

The only thing the KTM blows away is head gaskets....

 

The guide from Bein sucks, especially on my satellite system up here in Canuckistan. They do not even show that the race is on, yet I am watching the broadcast. Where do you guys got to get broadcast times?

 

Here we go. Chaz and Jonny!

 

What a battle up front. Nice return to the series for the little Italian.

 

Time for Honda to stick with generators. Looks like the new Fireblade is less competitive than the one it replaced.

 

Holy shit what a front pack !

 

Looks at Lowes!


Don't you crash that thing now dammit!

 

Yamaha in the lead with 12 to go? You would have gotten really good odds on that bet.

 

Wow, awesome race so far.

 

Damn! Marco about ran all over Lowes!

 

Well. That mishap F'ed his head.

 

You surprised?

 

Really? No, but disappointed for Nicky that they sent him out on another turd.

 

Lowes not giving up!
