Is the Ducati running under the same tech regs as they finished last season.

two-stroke · Mar 25, 2011

Checa has an updated Xerox bike, but generally, yeah. He's just very fast at the moment.

BHarvey · Mar 25, 2011

Fast enough to place well on the MOTOGP grid!

Jumkie · Mar 25, 2011

Ok, I got the MotoGP HD hi res package and have the dent on my credit card to prove it. But is there any way I can see practice quals anywhere? Pigeon? Can you help? You seem to know everything.

Go Haslam.

Yes, the bi-turbo is still allowed for them.

Does anybody else feel sorry for Chris Vermulen?

Oh, Haga.

In a way, yes. It's never a good thing to see a rider of his calibre circulating at the back.

However, he does get the biggest wages in superbike, so you cant complain.

mylexicon · Mar 26, 2011

Kawasaki is still slow. In these uncertain times, it's nice to know you can depend on something.

Certainly some interesting names in the top 8. Super glad for Haga and Sykes.

Heard Biaggi was being a bit of a .... by blocking fast laps of Melandri and Haga.

Jumkie · Mar 26, 2011

Go Haslam!

Ok, I don't think he can compete with the Aprillia and Ducati, complete rocketships. But a podium is really a win, and I predict Haslam will win!

lil red rocket pilot · Mar 26, 2011

Anyone heading down to donington for raceday ITS FREEEEKING FREEZIN! Wrap up warm folks. Also got sum tidy pics to post laters.

Rootsman · Mar 26, 2011

Looks like Checa's going to do what he did in PI again, i hope Haslam can stop him.

Pigeon · Mar 26, 2011

Anyone else find it odd that the WSBK site isn't running with a story about Melandri & Biaggi? Handbags at dawn:

Angry Melandri hits out at Biaggi: Marco Melandri says Max Biaggi showed his 'true professionalism' ...

2011 WSBK Donington Day 2 Round Up - The Handbags Edition

After the second day of practice at Donington Park, we should be talking about the way that Carlos Checa blew everyone away on the Althea Ducati. About the way that Checa got perilously close to posting a lap of 1'27 round the revised Donington track. About Leon Haslam's strong 2nd spot on the grid after qualifying, or Tom Sykes' outstanding 3rd fastest time. Maybe we should even be talking about Eugene Laverty's narrow escape when he had a huge crash at Craner, writing off his Yamaha R1. But we're not.

Tonight, all the talk is of a minor scuffle in the Yamaha pitbox, when Max Biaggi strode in to complain about being balked by Melandri during superpole and issued his fellow Italian with a light double tap, before stalking back to the Aprilia garage:

Checas time would of put him second on the grid at the 2009 donnington GP .

so if they are slowing gp bikes down with a change of formula. does this mean wsbks will be faster in a couple of years ?
