    Pole dancer Sykes again eh. He seems like a minute man, gets a good hard pole, but rarely keeps it up to the finish line.

    Watch Sykes, Rea and Camier beat the shit outta each other all the way to the line. Melandri and Laverty will be casualties of those three battling. Guintoli will win or bin.

    Not bad, WT — Crasher might have won some $s off some of those predictions.

    Oh, and Nitro Nori will be making a wildcard appearance at Imola.
    Am a huge Nori fan - but last season in BSB he was very disappointing. Not sure he has it anymore...

    Well that was a bit hard case at Portimao, engines crapping themselves, Sykes gutsing off in R2 sighting lap and starting from the pits and....also Marcos rear tyre falling to bits ??

    Yep, ’twas a bit different this round. I hear the WSS race was a real barnstormer too with Sofuoğlu and Foret trying to work together to stop Lowes getting away only to have van der Mark join the fray as well.

    Soup on SuperbikePlanet is reporting that the FIM has authorized the removal of the air restrictors on the Ducati's.

    Third paragraph down:
    "Even though a slight improvement between the two races - still not matching early expectations - as per the application of FIM Regulations art. 2.4.8.1.3 Ducati will see the removal of the air restrictors on their 1199 Panigale R, starting from the next round at Imola (June 28-30)."
    Disclaimer: I don't actually know what I'm talking about and everything I say should be taken as words of wisdom from a armchair general/mechanic/engineer/racer.

    Yep, some good dices in all three races, you'd have to put a dollar on Quintoli, he keeps plugging away. Like to see him get a couple more wins under the belt tho.
    Sofogalot looked pissed, Lowes cheeky and confident.

    No you aren't alone, I'm just sulking I'm stuck at work and haven't been able to watch it yet. I'm also a fan of Laverty, so a mech DNF is more reason to sook.

    I watch all the races. Caught the last round yesterday.

    Fuck I felt bad for Sykes.

    Loved the pass in race one, on Milandri by Sykes.

    Well done to Rae in race two. Who'd have thought that Honda would put such a shite bike out there year after year, when with a little improvement they could be winning?

    He's loving the Aprilia. It's a very similar bike to a 250GP bike and he rides them the same way. It's no wonder he's doing so well this year. Still, he's going to need another couple of wins or shits gonna get close soon.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem
