World Superbikes 2013

Sofoglu came down fast too, slid for ages at speed.
Both legs of WSB being stopped for red flags upset some plans for late attacks. Melandri was caught both times I think.


Manu was looking well!

Oh shit, I need to go back and watch these races then!!!

Why are they punished for crashing on someone elses oil? Rea was in fourth at the time and the results should have gone back a lap. Ends up with a broken leg and no points.

I remember some rules changes in the last few years around this area but don't remember what series (might have been local even?).

Yeah I didn't understand why Rea & Camier didn't feature. They were both fn lucky. Specially Rea as he could have been hit by Camiers bike. It wouldv'e killed him...........................

I thought the results were put back a lap. Or else Sykes would have been second?


Or did I miss something?

From my understanding under a Red flag the results are as they crossed the line one lap back, BUT a rider has to get back to the pits in a certain time or he is ruled DNF. Thats why Rea and Camier dont feature in Race 1 results. Sucks arse for them, Rea was doing a massive job this season and now has a broken leg. Has anyone heard how Camier is???

Looks like he is ok:

Looks like Baz has injured his neck from the practice crash - really nasty looking tumble in the gravel

[lukemillar]

Also - not the first time oil flags have bee lax at the Nurburgring. Deja vu?

Yep Geeen, that's how I thought the rules went ?
Shame for both of them. Not a Honda man but I like Rea's style and tho he's a tryer, Camier cos he's on the Suzuki

[Kornholio]

I'm loving that Camier has started getting the Suzuki working!

Same, haven't really seen Suzuki up there since 03-04(?)... Been getting a bit of stick from my Honda mates

[DidJit]

Toni Elías’ first race on a superbike looks promising...

Tonight Sunday, Sky ch53 I think ? 1930hrs - 2230hrs. Then 2300 till 0100.

The fight in WSS probably won't change the Championship outcome, but the battle between the front two was a real knock down drag out affair. ( the huge Turkish crowd loved it too.)
Nice to see the respect both have for each other.

That 600 race was EPIC, .040 between 1st and 2nd then just over 9s back to third.... Lowes and Superglue are definitely in a class all their own this year
