2011 WSBK Round 9: Silverstone (SPOILERS)

[zooom]

fun to see hopkins and melandri going at it.  i bet we see john-john in wsbk next year, if not on a 2nd rizla.

well...Johnathan Greene mentioned that he was breaking the silly season silence with the bomb of Crescent Suzuki coming to WSBK with Hopper...

my 2 silly questions are this though...what does Crescent do (or Yoshimura in AMA) that Batta's boys haven't figured out yet...and what is Suzuki going to be doing in terms of new model development if any?

guess i missed that mention.  cool!

as for your two questions.. crescent is denning, denning is also (for now anyway) suzuki GP.  so i'm sure crescent has quite a good relationship with the factory.  and yosh usa have been pretty much running their own ship for years.  around the time corser won in 2005 (+ before and since, i'm sure) suzuki japan was often coming to yosh usa and asking them wth they were doing.  cuz it worked.

wonder if hopkins get 1.5 rides next year

Supersport race was fantastic as usual.

Two good superbike races, a good supersport race, and if you caught them the superstock classes were fun to watch as well.
