50 quid is a joke really

I know its a world championship but when you compare to BSB that has closer fields, bigger grids and more races, then get real Flammini!

No chance of me going anywhere near this

Well it's the same price as silverstone and cheaper than moto gp, which has smaller grids and is boring in comparison to wsbk

Audio Feed from donington, is it possible.

live timing screen, is great

I'm surprised to see no discussion about the races, I was out of the country and only just got back, I'm glad I recorded the full live coverage rather than just the highlights as I thought the racing was pretty damn good, very eventful end of superbike race 2 that's for sure.

well .. penalize Rea or not?
i'd say yes .. not dsq but lets say 30 seconds

Difficult one I think, others have gone for similar moves (Checa on Neukirchner in superbikes at Valencia a few years ago?) where there was no way they were going to make it but Rea had a bit of a gap to go for.

Two race weekends have come and gone and not so much as a squeak from anybody about them? What's going on?

[chunder]

I guess WSB might look close on paper, but its really all usually about a couple of guys, the series favours twins and the Aprilia that lok after their tyres best, Sykes and the Beemers are obviously the quickest bikes but italians only make tyres for one bike!

If Max keeps going the way he is, his points lead is obviously going to be too much to overcome. Carlos has lost too many valuable points already and BMW and Kawasaki aren't consistent enough to challenge. Even when the other contenders take the spoils, Max somehow scores enough points to make the points loss not much of an issue.

Interesting that no else has ever got teh Aprilia to work though isnt it, Haga, Camier, Laverty and Chaz Davies, I do wonder why honestly.

Tyres are what decideds WSBK, the fours eat their tyres on too many tracks, leaving Biaggi and Checa to pic it up, look at Misano, is anyone seriously telling me Giuglano is a match for Sykes or Leon? Its all about tyres man

[gomick]

Davide goes ok... Why is Eugene struggling compared to Max is the question! And freaking Suzuki, Hopkins nowhere - would rather watch BSB than WSBK, must be the tracks...
