Imo, Ben had a very good bike that Sykes couldn't seem to ride. The 2010 R1 is having a few teething issues.
Everyone was going much quicker for that test. Conditions had improved considerably. A lot of people were wondernig why the field was so much faster than Spies' champioship performance. Didn't they blow away his superpole time by over a second? I'm still giving the nod to Spies. Crutch and Tose have their work cuttout.
