    Yep, Richard will come away with some valuable set up info that will give them an advantage back home.

    Any of you dad's paying attention here? Her dad's is helping her to adapt to the many variables, and specifically tires. The idea of club racing on the same brand used in MA to make easier for them to learn and get faster is BS. You need to help your kid learn to "feel" what's going on with the suspension and tires. So, either get help and or teach your young racer to "feel" what's going on and the path to the top will be easier.

    I think he is smart enough to realize that his Yamaha contract is old news.
    He is a smart guy; betting he will use any press opportunity to make positive comments about his new contract/ride.

    Betting he won’t since he is still under contract with Yamaha.

    He already said positive things about the Yamaha team. He has the talent to ride at the front... wait n see if his new BMW team can capitalize on it.

    Seems like the guys with the most knowledge and understanding of world level MC racing knew what a realistic expectation was for a good showing by Gagne. Meanwhile, I'm wishing on a star :bow::crackup:

    Gagne made improvements. Judging from what little camera time he had, he didn't look comfortable. His body position wasn't what it normally is. I was hoping he'd get more than a single point but getting in the points at all is an accomplishment.

    Yep, maybe we didn't factor in a couple big asks for Jake...he was changing to a new set up with unfamiliar tires and the level of competition is a step up. He survived the weekend and even got in the points. A big accomplishment in my books.
    Looking forward to the "ask a superbike genius" on YouTube after this round.

    They are good. A bit cocky-ish and always bashing Herrin. But se good talks other than that. Also, I seen the camera only a couple times I'm their pit. I didn't see corndog or really many others I recognize. Was he there?

    They got people named corndog? No wonder they turned down the French wine in the GMT 94 garage. :crackup:

  19. Corndog's already spent a bunch of time in the WSBK paddock with Ohlins. Do Canadians drink wine?
