7 of the top 10 in FP1 and 6 of 10 in Q1 were Brits.     Anyone wanna take bets on an all Brit podium?

Sorry to threadjack but I see that Honda CBR 600RR are doing pretty well in World Supersport, how come there aren't very many Honda CBR 600's in AMA Daytona Sportbike class?  Or for that matter how come we don't see many CBR 1000RR in AMA superbikes...

[Spidey]

Honda pulled out of AMA.

Check it out:  http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=38149

via ten kate honda has been destroying WSS for years.  they don't need to fund regional teams (much). 

erion etc ran their own (somewhat supported) thing in the AMA until they stopped getting any help whatsoever -- and the bikes became totally boring.

[Roy]

I knew Honda pulled out of the AMA with their factory efforts...I'm just surprised that their aren't any privateers running Honda's.  Does this mean that all the GSXR's and Yamaha's in the AMA get some sort of factory support?

there's not a lot of incentive to run hondas in either the ama or club racing series, especially compared to what is offered by yamaha and suzuki:

What's up with Haga this year? Talk about up and down. I know this could be a whole thread on it's own but I just saw the WSBK Superpole results and was shocked to see where Haga qualified. I won't say where even though spoilers are allowed on this thread. Interesting a private Aprilla out-q'd the factory boys! Qualy is one thing but it's always the races that count. I've seen poor grid positions turn into great podium results 100 times. Hope Haga makes the most of it. Just a funny season for him for sure, especially after last year's stellar performance. Puzzling evidence.

Looking at the times between SP2 and SP3, it looks like a lot of guys are burning through their qualifiers just to get to the final 8.  

Damn, Cal, WTF?!?  Second row of the MotoGP grid on a SBK?  I know you can't compare day to day with temp differences and all, but WOW.  

Nice to see Xaus back on it.  

You know Kiyonari was hoping it would be wet.  

Toseland is having a bad year.

You have to admit Silverstone is the perfect place for the sbk's to really stretch their legs and close the gap on the 800's.

[gm2]

re haga.. not that he isn't broken and will be looking for a new job next year... in the past it didn't matter how badly he qualified.  he'd be up p2 by about lap 5.  sad.

i really hope cal can turn that qualy lap into a race...

[fastwin]

Interesting results in race 1. No spoilers here but I'm looking forward to catching it on the dvr later. Haga...wtf?
