Would I be correct to assume Suzuki aren't in WSBK? surprised how far Honda are down the timings, too.
Be interesting to see how Brooke's does Can't help but think this wild card entry isn't going to go well...
Ten Kate where always going to struggle in my opinion. Bit of a tall order having not long had the bike
Okay, so I know it's not the race but Melandri is clearly providing some answers to those who questioned his ability when he was announced as the second rider. Not the nicest of peole but clearly still got some talent. Andy
Wasn't the weather a bit dodgy? Honda do have a brand new bike to get their heads around, compared to the other teams refinement of at least a couple of years.
1hr season preview on eurosport repeated friday 5pm. Good insight into some of the lesser known riders/teams.
Brilliant 1st race. Why they are shuffling the grid for race2 is beyond me as there was so much overtaking anyway. Great rides from Lowes and Camier. Chaz lacking a few bhp on the straights and unable to slipstream the kawas similar to last year early season giving Rea a slight advantage.
What a race Fair play to lowes as well, really happy for him as he had a howler last year and we all know he's got the talent for it. Melandri could well be a contender !
Looked to me that Chaz was trying to save his tyre, but like last year didn't really have the speed. However, he didn't over-ride like last year.
Turns out no catch up for eurosport with BT. Recording tonights, hopefully highlights before 2nd race.
