Wsbk 2014

[MVnut]

From what I have been told by a mechanic friend in the team, they are saying they get to much chassis flex when tyres are new "high grip" which becomes less destracting to the riders as the tyres go off and give less grip making the bike easier to ride fast.

Shaun if you raced a Kawasaki H2 you would know they will actually be lapping slower on modern tyres as they do not allow the required amount of frame flex

Nothing would surprise me with those bikes man.

Two red flags in the second race. Sykes was lucky to get the win.

Laguna may be an emotional favourite, but it's pretty clear why MotoGP should not race there. Not too sure if WSBK should be there either.

MV score a tenth place in race 2!

Not sure that's exactly true, eh lead the first one, was pressuring melandri in the second and 3rd one until melandri made a mistake running ride and crashing,

According to these guys just a broken heel

The big moment for me was giugliano throwing his bike through the corkscrew... Sooooo lucky it didn't go REALLY pear shaped

There was a real 'Oh shit' moment there for a while for Barrier, after his previous big one.
Giugliano is real physical isn't he, which you would think is detrimental at the level these guys are at ? Not really what you could call smooth like little Quintoli.

Does anyone know why we haven't had supersport racing the last couple of rounds?? Is it SKY being cocks or have they not raced?

I have to say I've gone of Guinters in a big way recently, he just never seems to have that little extra drive to challenge other riders. Giugliano is spectacular to watch, his bike is almost as loose as Elias'. Does make you tad nervous when he is fighting with a rider you support though, never quite sure of it will end in tears.....

Yes. I have missed SS too. Agree re Quintoli as well,have been a fan of him in the past.
Gigglyliano is living up to that plate number huh ! He does do the faster,faster, faster....splat, thing tho !!!

Considering he's been at the front for three years now, that's a lot of luck.

Reminds me of when a commentator remarked to Gary Player about how lucky a putt had been. Player replied, "The more I practice the luckier I get."

They weren't shown at Laguna Seca because they weren't there. (The Californians have their own support classes just like they did for MotoGP.)

I thought i saw them on Sky in all the previous rounds.

I had a feeling it was something like that at Laguna Seca, SKY didn't show the Supersports at the previous round
