Wsbk 2018

That was a nice little battle between the Yamahas. In all, not such a walkover that I feared.

What has Sykes done to be so far down the order? Is it getting like MotoGP with Marquez - many riders - next Honda?

I think Rea should have a ride-through every race then he will really have to work hard. As it is, it looks like the best rider on the best bike - by a considerable margin.

Maybe KRT have turned down his engine? 7th and 8th looks pretty crap when your teammate is winning everything.

[Dadpole]

Whit the handicap system and rev reductions, do the team cop it or just the rider? If it applies to all the teams bikes it could explain why Sykes is finishing so far back.

OR - I may be completely wrong (for the second time this century)

Not just the rider - and not just the team!!
It applies to all bikes from the manufacturer

"It applies to all bikes from the manufacturer"

A bit of a bugger for Kawa riders whose name is not Rea.

PS: Nice to see Laverty on the podium after his nasty crash a few meetings back.

Was hoping Laverty would hang on and he did this time . Don't ya reckon he looks like he should be on the set of Allo Allo ? Pippa his wife, ain't hard to look at either.

And good moaning to you Gazza. I agree about Pippa. We should push for a rule that (some) wives are brolly dollies.

haha that's who I was thinking of , must be the Mo ?

(and Manu didn't go to the USA ), Melandri went up side down anyway.

Pippa is a sweetie and she's supposed to be a bright girl as well. Was pleased for Laverty, coming back after a bad crash.

Hey guys sorry to break in but been watching MotoGP every round have the GP pass
Thought I might re-sign up for WSBK video pass I trashed it last time because the delay was 7 days ( I think) after the race was run to watch.
Bloody hard to find if this is still the case on their site

1. Is there a delay for watching??
2. 12,49€ = $21-00 odd NZD seems cheap for the remaining season, can you watch the previous rounds/Races??

I don't have a WSBK subscription. Frankly, I am to cheap to pay for racing I sometimes fall asleep while watching.

Back to the lovely Pippa. She took part in podcast with the Motomatters team a while back. A witty and intelligent lass indeed.

[roogazza]

I think I pay a hundy a month for Sky (or the wife does ?) . So don't use Video Passes etc. Like Dadpole too tight.
Well maybe not too tight, just happy with Sky coverage. I'm not one to follow much qualifying or practice either . and thats for both WSB and GPs.
Just the Race for me, the Points too, are secondary.

There's a twitter posting from Eurosport UK of Sykes and Rea bitching about each other that I have no idea how to post on here.

Search on... Eurosport UK “Get over it” vs. “It’s embarrassing for him".

No wonder Sykes bike was mysteriously slow.

There is a 24 hour delay in watching anything from WSBK. As Sky have control of the live footage. It is annoying as fuck. I do not think I will do it again TBH. Moto gp is far better coverage in all aspects.

[roogazza]

I won't post anything much so as to not spoil it. But I'm keen to see who takes on Sykes with a contract and where he goes ?????
Never any doubt he can qualify well ,at least?
