Laverty can't be cursed. He has had his share of bad luck now. Trust me, it is all on the up for him.

Bautista on a different postcode but brilliant battle for 2nd. Good to see Chas finally back at the pointy end and Lowes was unlucky not to podium. He got outgunned a bit on the straights to the kwack but looks like the real deal this year.
Good to see Sykes up there too. Needs more horses

Jesus. Goodbye. See you in 20 minutes.
Still not convinced by this Ducati rocketship argument when Chaz Davies was unable to make a massive difference on the straights. Then again he kept running into that corner before the straight too hot just about every lap.
I felt more for Lowes as he's definitely suffering on power compared to Rea and would have beaten him with Kwak power.

Davies looks like he’s riding a minibike.....more so than he did on the twin. He’s giving away at least 10kg on AB...and he’s not much shy of 6ft tall..
Good to see Lowes getting podiums, and decent results for Sykes and Laverty. A few more horses for the BMW please.
At this rate Bautista could have the title wrapped up by Donington.

Rea seemed on the verge of depression in parc ferme with that interview.
He was always a chipper charger on the Honda but has obviously got too used to winning.

Watched Bautista closely over first 4 corners of sprint race. His speed though the corners and out of them made the others look like they were on SSTK bikes. With a full tank and not fully up to temperature tyres thats skill, confidence and balls. David Emmett said he did the lap record on lap 2 of race 1. Knocking 250 revs off the top ain't going to make much difference. He's a class act on a good bike which is why there isn't that much whinging from JR, if he was being killed by a lesser rider on a rocketship we'd hear about it.

Same shit opening corners of race 3. He was off before we even got to the straight. Bossing it.

They keep talking about tracks that won’t suit the Ducati’s power advantage but Bautista is different class on the corners too. Total respect. Only problem I have is that we don’t get to see him on camera much cos it’s like watching Stoner at his peak. Great racing behind him though.

Great racing for 2nd in WSBK plus a good WSS race as well.
When asked about the difference between AB and CD, JR said he hasn't seen too much of AB and CD makes too many mistakes. Even if they do drop the Ducati's RPM by 250 RPM, I cant see it making much difference. Lowes looking a lot more competitive than he has done in the past without giving the impression he is going to crash.

Laverty can't be cursed. He has had his share of bad luck now. Trust me, it is all on the up for him. Was the wing falling off the result of a collision? He said his rear brake wasn't working after a race today as well. |

AB's sponsors might have a word. Naffing off means no coverage.

Scott Redding as AB's team mate next year if he bosses BSB?

He said his rear brake wasn't working after a race today as well. He said Rea whacked him in his desperation to make up from his shite grid position. Well he said he collided but the rest is my interpretation. |

AB's sponsors might have a word. Naffing off means no coverage. Initially I thought that too but most of the close ups of the bike and rider is in parc ferme and during grid walks so sponsors will be getting plenty coverage there. |
