Smrz having a nice qualifying session in front of the hometown fans. Corser looking great, he and the Yamaha have really came together lately. Bayliss of course also putting in fast times. Biaggi also doing well, as he has always done at Brno, one of his fave tracks. Amazing though how the top ten are all within 1 sec of each other. I love Brno, makes for great racing, lets hope its a good weekend.

Heh! Bet that hasn't happened too often in their careers. It probably won't stay that way, but David gets family bragging rights for one session at least...

Due to different time zone here, I only could watch WSB, BSB, and F1 only.

mechanical apparently
 
Shame, Checa looked like he'd sorted out whatever difficulties he was having in race one and had got through the field much quicker and was probably going to get on the end of the battle at the front. Looks like his title hopes are gone now

Brilliant stuff from Bayliss and Corser.
 
I found this weekends superbike racing to be the usual world superbike stuff. The racing was good, but the riders are all frustrating to watch because only one of them is capable of putting a season together. The bikes look pretty sluggish too, they shouldn't be on the same weekend as motogp.

Kinda like Moto GP is almost every year. At least WSBK has some racing going on. With exception of this past weekends race at Laguna, the WSBK typically upstages the racing that happens in Moto GP.

Not really, since the comment i made was realtive to the standard set by motogp.

and in moto gp, only 2 riders are capable of putting a season together.
how many champions in WSB? bayliss, corser, sofuoglu, muggeridge and i am sure there are more...
you dont become a champion if you cant "put a season together".
if WSB is so frustrating for you tom, then just dont watch, simple really. stick to moto gp and we will all be happier..

The difference is that in motogp although two or three riders are head and shoulders above the rest the remaining riders still tend to ride relatively consistent seasons and have form which puts them into one of the tiers within the field. In Superbike the leader (or leaders if you include Max N and Corser) are followed by a relative no mans land where riders can be winning doubles one weekend and in the lower half of the top ten the next. I actually like a lot of the riders in superbike (maybe thats the problem) and like to keep a glancing eye on it because the racing can be close and to see what happens. I'm really looking forward to next year as i hope the influx of new teams will bring with it more riders and the hope of a higher quality racing series.

Well if you look at the last few seasons, Toseland's consistency was the reason he won the title. Which was the exact same reason why Hayden won the title in MotoGP. Now is that putting a season together, or is it just good luck as other riders didn't manage to keep consistent? If that is putting a season together, then yes MotoGP is like WSB each year.

I wouldn't say Bayliss can put a season together, remember when he had a huge lead at about this stage in the year that Edwards won the title? He completely blew it, and I don't think Bayliss is consistent at all. He seems to make rushed desicions and ends up making mistakes, rather than settling for a good solid podium. Of course he is a brilliant rider and as fast as anyone, ever in WSB. But his desicion making is poor imo.

What you do see in WSB though is different riders on the podium each time, and you could probably say that is frustrating as none of them seem to be able to keep good momentum and follow it to the next race, perfect examples are Checa in America and Xaus a few weeks ago.

you could also look at that as a sign that the grid is full of talent that is more evenly matched on machinery that is closer in terms of performance, ie. less disparity between each rider. therefore, the seemingly erratic results are due to who gets lucky on that day/race or who has the best setup for each race...
sounds like a recipe for some extremely close, unpredictable and exciting racing....

and lo, it is!....
