FP2 Times from AUS WSBK (spoiler alert)

spoiler




NH managed to get the SP2 to within a second of 1st place. Not too bad for a bike short on development. Disappointed with Bradl's placing - would have expected him to be closer to NH.

Oh poor Brooke's

 

Nice to Alex lowes up there too
it will be a late tonight for sure

 

Will be a telling season for Alex. My impression is that he is a perennial crasher. I don't know if this is because in WSBK his "ambition outweighs his talent" or that he is riding beyond the capabilities of the bike. Hard to tell.

He's a BSB champ so the talent is obviously there....

 

Races were brilliant, if the rest of the season plays out like that its going to be a cracker.
MotoGP best be something like thst this year.
And the Supersport race Ive seen UFC fights with less violence

Lowes always goes well here. See how he gets on at the next one. Interesting Van der Mark wasnt higher up at the end.

 

Alex won the bsb in 2013 on a Honda

 

Oh right, see the confusion

'Let's hope he's not another Leon haslem, always the bridesmaid but never the bride so to speak'
