I am past caring a bit at the moment, will be alright when it all starts
Some berk was going on about how great it was he got a SBK season pass from SBK for 60 E, then I told him you can get a Eurosport player pass for about 40 quid and that means you can see BSB too! Lol, some folk need to do their research! |

Actually am betting that the reason for them doing this is to put WSB out to tender, so it will probably get snapped up by BT Sport aswell, leaving the rest of people who either can't get that or don't want to pay extra for it, to buy the subscription to SBK.com
Oh dear, what is going on, why all of a sudden does motorsport think it is football and people will happily fork out hundreds of pounds a year to watch it. I thnk maybe F1 can just about cope, but nothing else will surely? |

Unsurprisingly Sykes is fastest, Suzuki's second and third is surprising however. The Buell's are well off the pace and the MV Agusta is down among the Evo bikes. |

Truly awful coverage here from Eurosport
I dont think we saw one lap from start to finish! Constant cuttng to a mechanic pushing a bike out the garage or looking at some bloke who doesnt want to be looked at. Not quite sure why Dorna insisted on the same qualifying format as GP, this was a right mess, lots of crashes and bike issues it seems and a real non spectacle sadly. But man the tv director needs shooting! |

from what i saw it seems Aprilia still has about 10kph over the other bikes ... could help them live timing could be better too |

I thought the races, in particular the first one where Laverty came from fourth to first out of nowhere to win.
Anyone know what happened to Kenan and the other rider in the restarted Supersport race. They were saying in the commentary maybe oil, but it wasn't confirmed. |

Similar crashes where the back end spun around - vd Mark, did run pretty wide & hot in crashing on the dirty line...
Pity race 2 of the superbikes was red flagged, was enjoying that battle & it was nice to see Aprilia, Suzuki, Kawasaki & Ducati fighting it out. Honda wasn't that far back either! |

I think it would have been better if they had scheduled the Malaysian round during the long break after the Australian round. But as it is the injured riders have had plenty of time to get fit again.
Other news, Evo bikes get softer tyres http://www.crash.net/wsbk/news/20186...or-aragon.html Bimota allowed to enter http://www.crash.net/wsbk/news/20186...or-aragon.html |

How long is Jonathan Rea going to ride that Honda year in and year out? Might he be better off biting the bullet and jumping ship even if it means severing links with Honda? Mind you, the grass isn't always green elsewhere! |

Conversations with myself....
Bit wet at Assen wasn't it? I shan't mention any results in case people haven't watched the races yet. |

Always good to see the odd wet race, mixes it up a bit - Honda did well, interesting to see Ten Kate say that Vd Mark will be suited to the Superbike, most likely in 2015...

True but boy was it a proper deluge! I actually felt for the riders, reminds me of the 2006 race where Chris Walker took the win. Conditions were so bad, it couldn't have been fun at all, it just becomes survival for the riders and spectators too I guess.

It's Imola this weekend chaps...
The grid is quite close together in terms of times so we might see some intense action tomorrow. |

Cuppla great rides there by Jonny Rea - good to see Honda win too.
Aprilia where sliding backwards as the race went on, surprised Guintoli has Melandri's measure at the moment. Baz passing Sykes in race 2, could that be the start of something at Kawasaki Davies was good on the Ducati, Guigliano is a crasher unfortunately! Suzuki's - thy where fast at Phillip Island, been nowhere since... The Evo racing wasn't bad either, still a pity the whole thing isn't Evo! |

What's going on with Kenan in supersport? Talk of team trucks with little or no sponsors and what appears to be mechanical woes for the rider. How long is he going to stay with them or should that be, how long will the team be around? |
