Bump!
WSBK in Italy on SPEED at 2pm (race 1) and 3pm (race 2).
Watching now:rofl
I just got up like at 5. I will watch it tonight…:rofl
I wont post spoilers :lmao
What a race, especially Race 2. Man the Kawi and BMW really up’d their game; but checa, man he made it looked so easy…LOL.
MotoGP really need more track density, just look at SBK; Let hope the CRT bikes will help contribute to that…
Checa has been pure beast mode on that Ducati.:excited

Brands Hatch is a ridiculous track. The front “straight” is really just a long right turn, and turn one is crazy fast. Always some good action at that track.

cant wait 
Crutchlow is really the guy to watch, IMO. He is consistantly one of the fastest non works team rider. NH is doing well, at least in practice, but I won’t tip him for top 3. I hope the Ducati can be back in the mix again.
Crutchlow knows yamaha signed a 250 rider to replace someone on the Montster team. So he is going balls to the wall!
I’d say Hayden had a good run, but like you said I don’t see him being a threat.

Spies lost the front and crashed 10 mins into FP3, 2nd bike was not working so he pretty much missed the the whole FP3 session.
Damn!

Not sure what happened to BS. I swear that was a different person on that bike.
Crutchlow will probably replace BS if he can keep that up every race. You can quote me on this.
OR Dovi and there is also he 250 champ yamaha signed.
He said front end chatter due to the bike had crashed before, but how can he explain his qualify performance on the same bike?..
That was a common complaint about quite a few of the bikes all weekend. They said caused by front end electronics though.
