Westy sixth in FP1 at a track hes never ridden at in his life! Gooo Westness!

[Corny]

I expect Biaggi in front, the Suzuki is very fast in a straight line.. But he has to get that start right, c'mon Max!

and of course a victory for JT, don't know which race but for sure he'll win at least one :D

[Silver]

C'mon Toseland!

Don't forget, it may be Biaggi's "home" round, but he's never raced there before.

Had to go down far enough to get Westy in there! :laugh: It's great to see this series finally getting some depth to it again. With Yamaha Deutschland and Gil Kawasaki able to consistently legitimately challenge Ten Kate and Kats Fujiwara regaining top form (albeit without the luck), WSS is finally heading back towards the close racing of yesteryear that it's reputation was built on.

If he can get a good result this w.e, Ant can really re-establish himself and proove that given the right opportunity hes capable of anything!

I've always been on it Jake, just been wishing it would head in the WSS direction instead of round in circles! Anyway, he's qualified 14th so top 5 wil be difficult. Happy with Parkes in 4th, hopefully he can come away with the good points he should have got at Assen.

Also, Laconi was fastest after second qualifying with superpole to come. What would be the odds of that?!

[Corny]

Haga on pole.. interesting
JT only fifth, but made a mistake uh?

Nitro Nori on pole - yes! great news to start sunday morning in NZ.

I really like Nori too (like nearly everyone else!) and that is good news but hopefully Bayliss wins. :up:

Goooo Westy!! :D

When was the last time Nori was on pole? Am i right in thinking he hasn't got many? He always seems to be better in the races.

That would be July 2006 Brno. think he has had about four poles. Going to be interesting racing particulary after Troy Bayliss's comments after the last races when he said something along the lines of "we can't keep racing on the limit"

[tha_jackal]

Hell yes!! Give the man a real ride and look what he does!! Gooo Ant, 3rd place!! Anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the Superbike/Supersport videos online?? Really happy for the bloke.. Deserves some success, might give him confidence for the rest of the 250 season too..

[The Phantom]

Great run by Westy - 14th to 3rd, and a real threat for second.

Foret is still riding like an idiot. Fast but stupid - not a good look at world level.

SBK races were good, although the excitement was in the race for 2nd and 3rd... Bayliss pulled another brilliant day together.

Lanzi is definitely getting his walking papers from my Forum Fantasy team, and likely from Ducati Corse at the end of the year too?

[ChrisS]

great races by Haga, he managed the first double win of the season and dominated the weekend, JT continued strong and Troy also had good races. Biaggi continues making little mistakes here and there and that damages his races. Rolfo was competitive probably for the first time in SBK, shame he ran out of fuel in race 1.

In WSS Sofuoglu was once again on his own, Charpentier seems out of it, off his teammate's pace and making mistakes

Foret needs to ride aggressively in the turns like he does because his Kawasaki is down on power from the Hondas and Yamahas

[The Phantom]

I was referring to Foret pushing Westy in to the pit wall over the finish line - he acted as though he thought West would have been on his outside, but even if that were the case there was no point in pulling his line in so tight (he came in over the white line denoting the track boundary).

[T-D]

yeah, great racing overall. hats off to haga and the superbike boys for a brilliant show. wss is where it's at for me, though. westy! anyone want a link to a copy of the wss race just pm me and i'll try to help out.

cheers!
