impressive ride from Davies... best PANI result in history imho... dry amongst all the bikg players... they did polish that turd ...
What a day for Ducati, finally !! I tell ya what Chaz Davies has made ground. Fair play, savage ride in both races, he held off Guinters & Sykes, hard fought ride. Top marks Chaz. Not forgetting JR, good win.
Yep, good ride. The Aprilia is still a fair bit quicker by the time they are in 3rd/4th gear, but that's prob the quickest so hopefully they can find a bit more.
Yep, fair play to the 1199. It looked good out there. 2nd was a good result. I hope theyve turned a corner and can now challenge. I really do as Ive been critical of the Pani in race trim (and road trim to be fair). Johnny did a great job on his Pata Honda. Ive a lot of time for JR. I like watching Johnny when hes competitive.
I'm sure that I heard in the commentary that the WSB Pani now runs the same electronics as the Moto GP bike, hence the improvement.
yes... indeed... from what we heard, Alstare has been furious about the lack of commitment of the then Gobmeyer led Corse managment to the PANI... a lot of the improvement of the bikes ( redustribution of weight) was initiated by them... now that the commitment is there, it shows ...
