WSBK Rd 2 Imola

povol · Mar 28, 2012

The Aprlia and Biaggi looked very strong at PI, can they steal the show in Ducati's back yard. I think they can if Biaggi can resist the mental errors he is becoming famous for.With Aprilia now in GP and running close to the same machine, the testing data will overlap giving them an advantage. I wonder how long it will be before they make the in house GP chassis available on the production bike so it can be used in WSBK.

Here's a table of local times.

Superpole:

Race 1:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Race+1&iso=20120401T12&p1=157

Race 2

5 1/2 hours after race 1.

Geonerd · Mar 30, 2012

Kawasaki brought some real power.

The ZX-10s' top speeds are only about 2kmph behind the all conquering Beemers, and they are fractionally faster than the RSV4 bikes.

Remember the talk that Crescent might be running much of last year's bike? If the top end is any indication, this may be true - the Zooks are among the slowest bikes on the track.

Gonna pull a wild hair out of my ... and go with Sykes for the overall win this weekend.

cliche guevara · Mar 31, 2012

anybody got a stream for superpole?

any help is appreciated gentlemen

ducatis look good but other than that its very close....wild guess : checa, rea, biaggi

bmw still on their in house electronics?if yes i'd be surprised if both melandri and haslam made the top10

cliche guevara · Mar 31, 2012

laverty hangs off the bike like stoner, looks a bit strange

at least he stopped waving his leg around

two-stroke · Mar 31, 2012

Sykes to start on pole. Rea's highside was possibly the biggest I've ever seen.

Congrats to Sykes. When was the last time a Kawasaki started from pole (not counting Superpole shortened PI, straight up)?

How much of that data would be usable with the vastly different tires of the two series and the cf brakes?

bluegreen · Mar 31, 2012

Oh, and McCormick's got this one in the bag.
