2013 WSBK Rnd 13-Magny Cours ( Spoiler!)

[zooom]

wholly crap...did no one watch that race....Race 2 was great 2nd/3rd place swapping and the bonkers shiznit going on for like 6th through 12th in both races was great....and Tom Sykes 

[ducpainter]

I watched them.

Unless Sykes doesn't show up at the last round Guintoli and Laverty might as well ride scooters.

The guys on fire.

Too bad they red flagged the second race. Not sure I agree with the decision seeing as they have a flag to flag rule....the first was understandable.

Sykes lead in race 2 was ridiculous for sure...as for the red flag, my guess it was more because of the fact that 2 bikes down in a REALLY bad spot on the track than it was for the rain since they had the white flags out 2/3 laps beforehand....

Sykes rocks! So does the Kwacker. Makes me want to go out and hug my '83 Lawson Rep and '05 ZRX1200R! Been 2 decades since Russell and Kawi Industries have had a day in the sun. Every dog has his day.

What I miss is being able to see it. Don't want to pony up more $$ to directv to buy into Bein sports stuff.

I realize that, but you'd think white flags combined with yellow flags would give world class riders a clue.

The only reason I'm questioning it is that it changed the championship standings.

a clue? when the red mist is going full fury and you are swapping positions every other corner with your teammate?!?!?!....nahhhh



the only standing it may change is whom may get the overall 1st runner up....the Ape team will get the contructors and team championships and Sykes will more than likely end up as champion...

I hope Russell takes the idea from Greene & Martin and flys to Jerez to be there for the crowning as I think that would be classy as hell!

Russell being there would be cool. Hope he raps it up, Sykes deserves it.

Does Ducati still race wsbk?

Maybe not important to you...but I'd bet it matters to Guintoli and Laverty.

WELL...I guess we'll have to see how Jerez goes to see if it does make a difference....

Sykes is the man. Race 2 was flat out domination! 

The Laverty-Guintoli battle was epic. Honestly, Guiltoli deserves 3rd though...he let Laverty back into the championship this season. Both of them crashing in the same corner was classic! I couldn't believe how hard they were going despite the rain at the end...but then again, one can't back off until the other does...

I think the red flag was the right move. Slicks and rain is hazardous, especially when that track looked slick in the dry. Plus both of their bikes were down on the track.
