portimao

OK - Hopefully Alzheimers won't cause me to double post this again. Tho - I can't promise not to be swayed by Dementia.

WSBK doesn't seem to get much run on this forum but I just watched race 1 and all I can say is Toprak must have his team on the edge of their seats. I know I was. Rea gifted him a sure 20 points but that wasn't enough for Toprak. He and Redding were slugging it out. After the race, Redding...

Circuit Information: Length: 4.423 Km Pole position: Right Corners: 13 While You Were Sleeping It has been almost two months since World Superbikes last turned a wheel in anger. In an environment where fractions of a second make the difference between glory and humiliation, a lull of almost...

What a finish. This is just like the old days - the bare knuckle cage fighting of Motorcycle Sport before the 'axe murderers' were all locked up in Moto 2.   Brilliant ride by Lowes - fourth win in a row.   Meanwhile good to see that the Ferret's still got some fight in him in his 145th...

<blockquote class=" The Road to Redemption Tom Sykes is a man on the move, but it wasn't too long ago that he was on the tip of everyone's tongue for the wrong reasons. In Monza the Kawasaki ZX-10R pilot rode the wheels off his green machine to finish ahead of title rival Sylvain Guintoli and...

Well Malandri's an ...... How to lose a championship 101!! At least he's got his wifey to console him!! LOL GO MCCORMICK!!

Live timing available on the site. SS running now. Looking at the times the weather looks decent, though a lot of bad weather is predicted. Lots of Yamaha's this year, pity only one Daytona is currently running. Current times 1 23 Parkes B AUS Kawasaki ZX-6R PIT IN 1'47.441...

Spies campeão Burnout Spies

Here is the preview of testing for today and tomorrow. Teams look ahead to 2010 with Portimao test. Just two days after the final round of the 2009 World Superbike Championship, the teams are already looking to 2010 A total of 22 riders will take to the track this week to participate in...

LINK This should be interesting. I think this will show whether he is really reformed or whether Suzuki's advantage (over the other 600s) caused him to mellow a bit. Cardenas is hero and anti-hero rolled into one, but I hope he does well.

This is it, the culmination of a long hard fought season between two men. The veteran Haga, always so close, but never a championship. The rookie Spies, an impressive first year in the series with a late season comeback. Haga has the obvious advantages on his side. 10 points lead over Spies...

LINK Another rider gets added to the mayhem that will certainly transpire at Portimao.

Soup's interview with Sofuoglu after the Portimao race. http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Dec/08...interviewks.htm He goes on quite a bit about how it's very hard to make a switch from Supersport to Superbike, I reckon in defense of why he had a bad first season in WSBK and is making the...

Portimao looks like a very cool track. Technical and flowing. very difficult to cover your line. Lot's of elevation changes, fast corners and one long straight. Riders are invited to do misstakes in downhill braking sones and by covering the inside. Looks like a track where we could see some...

Thought I would start a thread on Portimao. We have a few days until qualifying, but I am looking forward to the final race of the year. The new track looks excellent, lots of elevation changes. It is of course Bayliss's final appearance. I will be pulling for him to pick up a win at least...
