Nothing in it yet, top 12 riders all within a second!
Good mix of manufacturers and interesting lower profile riders are lapping fastest already. Seem keen, with something to prove.. Wonder if Neukirchner is the real deal, a genuine young star on the rise? Hope to see him on the podium with Bayliss and one of the Honda riders! Free Practice 1 times; 1 96 Smrz J.

Bayliss on superpole will start from 1st on grid! I'm predicting Bayliss to take the double win. Haga 2nd, Neukirchner 3rd & Checa 4th.

again good race! was so happy to see Max N finally getting a win. how weird was it to see bayliss not being able to close the gap towards haga+max N, first time this season???
wtf is going on with Xaus tho, has he been jinxed to not ever finish 2 races per race day or something??? and tamada crashing in the last lap.... 1 76 Neukirchner M.

Harms just doesn't give up. commentators here on eurosport blamed him for not letting pitt go and get near the top 3 riders. what a stupid idea, like harms is supposed to settle for 5th if he can get 4th. those commentators SUCK big time, liking they're having a chat over tea, bunch of old guys. but great race (not as good as assen tho  ) 1 foret 2 brookes 3 parkes 4 pitt 5 harms -------------------- If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question I've got to follow it through.

Two excellent races today, its great to see a new winner emerge in any series. It was also entertaining to see Bayliss pushed and riding scrappy like in qatar, shame his bike gave up in the second race. Checa was a let down today, and really binned an excellent oppertunity to gain champiosnhip points on Troy. Kiyonari however is just coming good. He rode brilliantly all weekend and i look forward to seeing more of the same. Biaggi?????
-------------------- To consider Kevin Schwantz an equal rider to Rainey, Doohan and Lawson is to overrate him. His entertainment value, popularity and legendary status can be compared (and is arguably superior) to those he rode against, but he achieved significantly less on the track.

excellent races!!! I love SBK more and more!! Happy about Max N. and Kiyonari (shame he's not second after all). what happened with troy's bike?!
 and indeed, what's with Biaggi, I miss him at the front (I wouldn't believe I would ever say this, but yes). ...and I love Monza!

Brilliant two races.
 Gratz to Max N on his first victory, I'm sure there will be many more. Kiyonari was very good and was really unlucky not to win race 2. I'll be interested to see if he can keep up the pace in the coming weeks. |

Haga has always gelled with this circuit; (fact: if a track lends itself to Nori's style, it's invariably a sign that it's shit hot.) That Belgarda/Yam Italia HQ is round the corner admittedly helps. Watching the man through Ascari, Lesmos and the Parabolica - (Pista di Alta Velocità decaying banking in the background, a sacred relic like Brooklands of a bygone age)...traction control turned down to minus 10, - reminds me just why this sport has so much soul - (and who can forget Lavilla smokin' the Gixer a few years back). Watching Meregalli cack his bracs just heightens the pleasure. I'll tell you what befel Max...a certain Czech ex-250 stroker jockey by the name of Smrz. I await with grimaced anticipation the similarly inevitable and eventual desperate move by his compatriot Pesek to everyone's fave proddy paddock. -------------------- "Buy the ticket take the ride" - Hunter S Thompson
