Praying for a miracle. Laverty tweeted he'd been off the bike so long he couldn't recall if it was a stick shift or paddle shift lol.
He was 6th in the first session and stayed 6th in the second session I rate him for a World championship in that class next year if he stays in it and does not go up to WSB
He needs gone to Motogp, he is still so young and very bloody talented and Hungry. Even for his first year on a SUZUKI
PJ starting from 4th in WSS tomorrow. He q'ed 5th but Sofuoglu has to start from pit lane, moving everyone up a spot. -jim
I can't get over how much difference it makes in these threads that WSBK is not on a basic cable channel now. If we were all watching, this thread would be 10 pages. Instead, it's 12 posts
That was definitely one exciting race. And the fact that a championship was on the line made it even more exciting.
There is a thread on here since FEB to promote and follow PJ Jim, he is the very best thing since sliced bread the USA has on the world motorcycle scene this year Yes Nicky is out there ( And full respect to him) but not at the top any longer like PJ is in his class
Great SS race and great to see PJ getting 2nd. There is hope for Americans in world motorcycle road racing. It is just too bad EBR isn't really a part of that hope, although maybe next years rules will help a little bet, but they are still so far behind the EVO bikes the new rules might not help that much. The first Superbike race wasn't bad either. The 2nd Superbike race was a bit of a snoozer. The Apes didn't play well very long. Melandri just caught, passed and disappeared.
