Donington WSBK (Spoilers)

[zooom]

anyway you slice it...Sykes was untouchable and race 1 had more action than race 2 IMHO.

[ducpainter]

Yeah, race 2 was almost like GP...

I agree that no one was going to get Sykes last weekend, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Honda is outgunned.

[zooom]

Honda is indeed outgunned unless it is a rain race....then all bets are off when it comes to the bike and goes to the rider with the biggest set of brass which usually ends up being a brit...

Ducati - the TV announcers said that the restrictor plates are suppoda be removed from the 1199, possibly before Portimoa?  You guys didn't catch that?  Some kinda of "minimum # of races with really shitty results and then we'll remove it" rule?

@Fastwin - not sure why you can't watch the racing online at BeIN Sports unless you're a GDC  (gawd damn canadian...) but even then I THINK you should still be able to watch, yes?  I do recall a post where a fellow Maple Leaf bemoaned the fact that BeIN was not available thru cable TV up there.

Complete agreement.  Lowe's just seems to be head and shoulders above the rest of the WSS gang.  I see WSBK in his future...and I say that fully realizing that several WSS champs have migrated to WSBK and had their asses handed to them gift wrapped (Foret, Sofuoglu, and I know I'm forgetting someone....)

Counting Kenan out...you know, the 3 time WSS champion...is sort of silly. Especially when there are so many races left in the season.
That Turk has some wicked skills on a 600. Not trying to discount Sam's weekend or season for that matter in any way.
Just don't count Kenan out of anything until FIM says Sam has won the title.
