Hmmmm... 200mph into turn one and no brakes? Not good. [bang] Only thing worse would be to hit a seagull while you're running off course with no brakes! [popcorn] [roll]

[thumbsup] [Dolph] Cycle News lists Fabrizio on a Ducati? ? ? Thought he was running on a BMW. Title: Re: WSBK Test timing from Philip Island Post by: gm2 on February 16, 2012, 11:59:29 AM no one has mentioned sykes: he's been p1 or p2 throughout the test. who taught the kawi to turn??
there's a few key folks not at this test, as well.. Title: Re: WSBK Test timing from Philip Island Post by: Spidey on February 16, 2012, 12:03:57 PM Cycle News lists Fabrizio on a Ducati? ? ? Thought he was running on a BMW. I don't think it counts are "running" a bike if you pit during 75% of the races either to get an espresso or b/c your hangnail hurts like a pregnant dog.

Sykes was humping it! [thumbsup] I'd like to see Sykes and the Kawi in the fray at the front of the pack. The more the merrier! [Dolph] [popcorn] Title: Re: WSBK Test timing from Philip Island Post by: gm2 on February 16, 2012, 03:27:31 PM i have high hopes for the chaz

New to the whole "actively following racing" thing. Any suggestions on where to watch the WSBK races, either live or downloaded? Also: GO CHECA! ;D Title: Re: WSBK Test timing from Philip Island Post by: gm2 on February 16, 2012, 03:51:58 PM So... New to the whole "actively following racing" thing. Any suggestions on where to watch the WSBK races, either live or downloaded? Live/DVR: Speed. speedtv.com/schedule for, you know, schedule info. Downloaded: whatever RU has become. I forget the name. for wsbk you get jonathan greene & steve martin covering (good thing), so it's best/easiest to just DVR the Speed broadcast if you can. there is no watch-online-with-a-legit-subscription thing for wsbk like there is for motogp.com. gotta rely on tv or torrents. the former being more respectable n whatnot.

Frankly, I get a lot of out of following the practice and qualifying and then talkin' about it in here. Lots of folks know a ton of stuff, and lots of folks don't know diddlysquat, so join in and have at it.

Not that I don't like Rossi & Co. I just like the WSBK racing and the series in general more than the big boys. Better racing. More valid competitors. Something different than the "follow Stoner" parade. +1 on Chaz!!
