The round before Laguna Seca was Portimao. Sky did show the Supersport race there.

Well early Monday morning !
Sky if you have it ?
check, but I believe 0230hrs to about 0800hrs.

I believe this is what's called a, 'Heads up'.
Not to be confused with a, 'Head job' !!!!!

Yeah, Sky started showing BSB when they stopped showing GPs. Their bikes may not be as quick but BSB have some bloody close racing.

Yes,(sort've a sorry we didn't bring GPs huh ?)
I haven't checked out the Specs on the BSB Superbikes, but I'm guessing they're closer to what WSB will be next year ?

Something for any Kiwi racer to aspire to if they had ambitions at that level. Kawasaki seem the popular mount in this class.

The Kawasaki presence may seem all the greater because the official Honda team withdrew late in the piece. I don't know about the riders, but it left the pit crews out of work and with everybody else having done their hiring it placed the guys in a difficult situation. As mentioned in another post Kiwi crew chief Adrian Gorst had his CV on the 'Net looking for work.

Watching BSB can be confusing at first because the bikes are painted in sponsor's colours, so f'rinstance the red bike can be a Kawasaki, the green bike a Suzuki, and so on.

Yes , the paint jobs do confuse things a bit after the WSB and GPs.
Yamahas in red and Shakey in 'Rapid' colours ,even Beemers in red.
Good fights tho huh ?

Bet Ellision's eyes were watering after his big get off last round.
We know how good Aussie Waters is and he was a bit lucky with his win. High standard in BSB. Great to see the Suzuki pull one off tho,for me at least.

Same deal , about 2330 hrs till the early hours.
I'll be setting up the 'copy machine'. Then dragging the retired old body out of the pit in the morning to watch.

[ps nice to see the 'All blacks' put the 'Wanna Bees' back in the cupboard huh ?]

Fuck it. I really want to see Bimota in there, mainly next year. They've got a very good bike, better than the BMW which has the same engine. Lets hope they can get back on track and into the championship full time.
