WSB Kyalami predictions

[Movistar]

It's going to be another action packed round with these pole times!

The 1st two qualifying times are faster than last years best lap set by a certain Mr Spies.

My predictions:
Race 1 - 2 Yamaha's (Toseland and Crutchlow) and a Ducati (Fabrizio)
Race 2 - Yamaha (Crutchlow) Ducati (Fabrizio) and Suzuki (Haslam) all though I don't think Biaggi will be far away...

Haga's having another shocker.

Here's the Superpole times:

1 35 Crutchlow C. (GBR) Yamaha YZF R1 1'37.243
2 52 Toseland J. (GBR) Yamaha YZF R1 1'37.260
3 7 Checa C. (ESP) Ducati 1098R 1'37.296
4 84 Fabrizio M. (ITA) Ducati 1098R 1'37.368
5 91 Haslam L. (GBR) Suzuki GSX-R1000 1'37.401
6 96 Smrz J. (CZE) Ducati 1098R 1'37.561
7 3 Biaggi M. (ITA) Aprilia RSV4 Factory 1'37.613
8 2 Camier L. (GBR) Aprilia RSV4 Factory 1'38.148
9 99 Scassa L. (ITA) Ducati 1098R 1'37.756
10 50 Guintoli S. (FRA) Suzuki GSX-R1000 1'37.875

16 41 Haga N. (JPN) Ducati 1098R 1'38.496
17 76 Neukirchner M. (GER) Honda CBR1000RR 1'38.917
18 67 Byrne S. (GBR) Ducati 1098R 1'39.037
19 77 Vermeulen C. (AUS) Kawasaki ZX 10R 1'39.317
20 23 Parkes B. (AUS) Honda CBR1000RR 1'40.713
21 95 Hayden R. (USA) Kawasaki ZX 10R 1'40.981
22 15 Baiocco M. (ITA) Kawasaki ZX 10R 1'41.526


I like the back end of those Yamaha's.
Although with the two subjects in this picture, I'm not sure which back end is better - both have dual outlets (or inlets if you're into that)...

Biaggi , Haslam , Rea.
And a surprise for race 2 that finds a setting , maybe Corser.

Whats with the recorded times of camier ??? classed at 8th but slower than Rea ???

Camier got through to Super Pole 3 but Rea didn't. Leon probably didn't have any qualifiers left so set a slower time.

I'm gonna guess that Crutchlow and Checa get a win each.

Looks like the Ducati riders don't have to try and shed any weight, as their bikes are allowed to now...
