It's a sure sign of the apocalypse, a Kawi on pole in WSBK.  Huh?

I liked seeing that. Something new and weird. I'm sure conditions played a role, since when were the Kawi SBKs faster than their street bikes? laughingdp Good for Sykes, that's gotta feel good. waytogo Gonna be a wild one... I hope! I'd like to see Max wrap it up at Imola. How sweet would that be? Italy would go on vacation for the rest of the month!! Vino! chug applause

Pretty sure it's the 2010 version that they have been running all year. Looking forward to a big effort next year with the new bike. I love seeing 5-6 different brands fighting for the top 10 spots. The more the better! waytogo That says a lot about the rules being fair.

Maybe, just maybe it's a Ducati track?

He certainly got his head back together for the second race. waytogo

Too bad that Haslam's bike calved...

It would have been fun to see the title go to the last weekend.

And Ducati 1,2, and 3 in the first race and 1 and 2 in race 2.

I guess the bike still can be competitive at tracks without long straights

was great to see Haslam trying his ass off, till the motor let go...I guess you can say he is a never say die type of guy...

Checa just seems to have a magic with that bike that no one else can muster..come from the back and just ply his will through the field and keep on going...

WTF was up with the Kwak this week...Sykes was just amazing with that thing...from outta nowhere...

and the 1st race with all the "off track excursions"....that was just nuts....

Yeah, as much as I wanted Max to take the title at Imola I also hated to see Haslam go out with an engine failure. How often does that happen? Checa being robbed of the double at Miller comes to mind but that wasn't total engine failure. Have to admit, these race bikes are pretty damn reliable.

Too bad Haslam also just lost his job for next year after having such a great season. bang head At least Alstare is handling it in a fair fashion. They can't help that sponsorship $$$ just vanished for next year. Hopefully someone will have the good sense to snatch up Leon ASAP. waytogo

I also agree that it was a good weekend for Sykes! When did FIM allow Kawi to add the nitros kits?? laughingdp Good for Sykes! applause
