Melandri doubled...

Sykes finally got a tire to last a whole race.

Rea needs to stop highsiding.

Rea needs to stop highsiding.


That was a silly move that could have ended much worse.

A shitty move from Melandri on his teammate. I'll bet there were words later in the garage.

Melandri is an animal when it comes to passing, love it!

Looked like 100% Rea's to me.

Sykes...

He went off line and didn't use any discretion when he moved back

anyone but Haslam would have more than words.

I don't know...looked a lot more like he went a tad wide on purpose so he could late apex the corner to get better drive. I like Rea...but he dove in there when there wasn't hardly any room and was all out of shape when Sykes hit him. Sykes didn't go very wide at all...definitely not wide enough for Rea to steal his apex that late in the corner.

I hope BMW wins the title(s) this year and then has to eat crow for not fielding a factory team next year.

I read from cyclenews that they decided to stick around next year after this past weekends results. Still waiting for some confirmation of that. Would love to see BMW take the championship this year!

Quamby's crash in WSS...HOLY SHIT!  :o :o :o

World Supersport Massive High Side (Ronan Quarmby) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68FiJUVpxBk#)

But the best tweet of the week came from World Supersport rider Ronan Quarmby after his massive stack in Brno, @Quarmby34: "Just got a call from the Olympic committee, apparently after yesterday I have qualified for the Olympics high jump. #iBelieveICanFly #ouch".

That was definitely a big highside!  :o Sounds like he's OK though...it was worrying the way he laid back down on the edge of the track afterwards.

He had just enough adrenaline to make it to the edge of the track.
