Hodgson was testing tires at Daytona a few weeks ago...and thats AMA....you'd think SBK would get one right away.

That's for dam sure. He is doing a stunning job on that Honda isn't he? I think Chris Walker is doing well as well.
 
Wow!!! "Nitro" Nori and "Mr Superpole"
Third and Fifth places
<

that looks good so

Im not sure if both are using R1 spec 2008

Good for Broc Parkes in WSS
 
I've never heard it mentioned...but:

Is PI a hard track to learn? This sort of bodes well for Rea if it's any indication of how he'll go at every track.
