50 minutes in and a closer race for the lead than WSB, just 0.086s in it.

Shows the level of the main championship runners though when the series leaders have already been lapped.

I also lasted a couple of hours before nodding off. I taped the last 2 hours and watched later.
3 in a row for Nakasuga. Lowes looks a different rider in the 8-hour. Maybe he pushes too hard in WSB as the Yamaha WSB bike is a bit lacking against the Kwak & Duc. Do Kawasaki have to turn the wick down in endurance to make the bike last the 8 hours, although the engine is restricted to 6 per season (1 per every 2 rounds).

I'm starting to think that the 'factory' WSB Yamaha's are more than a couple of steps behind the Kawasaki and Ducati teams. It was never a full factory effort, more of a factory supported team but even with this years changes to the team, I think Yamaha needs to make a decision on whether they want to win or take a lucky podium twice a year. Lowes is obviously overriding the bike in WSB.
