Weather still looking iffy. But Sykes just wasnt at the races again this week. And Camier crash destroyed the beemer!
Hats off to Tom Sykes, what a ride! He's like a monster when he gets going, just relentless Great racing once more from wsbk, good show all round and nice result for lowes
Salom last turn block to cost Canepa the Ducati evo win too. Lowes up there on old tech bike tho, great ride
Oh you've got to hand it to lowes bless him, he's definitely got the minerals for wsbk so with more time and a better bike he'll be a regular front runner imo But bloody hell, Sykes is just ferociously fast when his heads down and today he didn't give a monkeys pulling some harsh passes Great stuff
Not surprised, I mean what is it 4 races?! BSB you get 2 main, plus sstk, plus 600 and sst, Ducati and/or triumph, 450 prilia, 125/250 moto 3 type bikes...way more value
enjoyed yesterday immensely but not many races and lack of trade stalls to look at between races and lack of punters indicate that the entire event needs to be remarketed and rebranded plus side was it was easy to get in and out of
Great racing yesterday. Davies and Giugliano really going in the right direction. Great to see Hats off to Sykes, hero power right there !
