Misano - WSBK

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Bootsakah @ Jun 17 2009, 11:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>nor can a great rider take a crappy bike to a championship.
hmmmmmm...... with 1 exception maybe.... 04 motogp season, rossi, burgess, yamaha.

i think the best bike is the one that both riders can win with it... yamaha at gp and the ducati at sbk.. also they both won last year's championship..
and i believe the 1198 is so good because i m sure that m.fabrizio wouldnt be near as fast as he is now with any other bike.. i can easily think of more than 5-6 riders right now whom i consider much better than him and much more worthy of the second factory ducati..

I'm trying to imagine Rossi on the 2009 Hayate Dornasaki, championship material?

Good point, Sykes hasn't even had a podium yet on the other "factory" Yamaha. If it was the best bike out there, surely it would of elevated him to the podium by now.


Need more WSBK racing now, I can't wait for the weekend.

FP1 Results. I'm at a loss for words concerning Spies. He's a TERMINATOR.
Misano is 6 hours ahead of the East Coast.

Crutchlow would have been 17th on the SBK grid

Seriously, how is Spies doing this every round. Coming in and being the fast guy right out of the gate on unfamiliar ground. Impressive. It must be the new Yamaha, oh wait, where is Sykes, 21st.

Just now noticed Lavilla up there, looking promising so far for a guy that didn't even have a ride at the beginning of the season, hope he can pick up a nice result on Sunday.

He is on the best bike out there.

If you were watchig live timing you could see who was working on race setup and putting in the consistant laps. Fabi was in eighth place until he put in ine hot lap. Haga was putting in even better race laps than Spies.

One thing is for sure. If Hacking gets a top ten that would be a miracle. Look at the top 19 all in the 137's

whow. training results in SBK don't mean anything anymore. It's so close that you can still win the race if you have the pace to qualify 15th.

Looks like it should rain tomorrow and Sunday. This should be good.
 
God I love SuperPole!! Good job Smrz to take it away from Spies finally. What's up with the factory Ducatis gettign beat by the satellite teams?

Is there any doubt that this is a Ducati track?
