Well, I enjoyed all of the WSB races over the weekend, which is rare these days. Well done to Rea and his team on an extremely impressive turn around; taking the points in the early rounds and winning when they could (although it must be said that he fought hard for a lot of those second places). Baustista was unlucky to be taken out by a near highsiding Toprak in R2 and apparently Davies suffered an electronic malfunction when he crashed out of R1.
600SSP was frantic. When Whithman talks about if being an irrelevant class, I think that he's really taking about it from a European perspective; 600 sales are declining and only the R6 and Ninja are sold over here and Europe, but outside the Eurozone they are doing OK... christ even the GSX-R600 & 750 is still being sold in the US!

As for MotoGP going to Magny Cours, I'm not sure if it would be deemed as safe enough for the litre bikes; the walls are very close leading to the Adelaide hairpin and the run off in certain areas looks a bit inadequate. But as far as circuit layout goes, it appears to far superior to Le Mans'.

But as far as circuit layout goes, it appears to far superior to Le Mans'. Thing is, how much faster would a MotoGP bike be around MC?......wouldn’t be huge....1.5s maybe....which is a lot per lap, but as far as top speeds go I don’t think there would be a huge difference. The Panigale can hit 315kmh in the right conditions. |
