Kiyonari, Sofuoglu savour fortune change.

Kiyonari, Sofuoglu savour fortune change.

Ten Kate Honda pairing Ryuichi Kiyonari and Kenan Sofuoglu are hoping the latest round of the World Superbike Championship at Brno will signal a turnaround in their season after notching up some encouraging results.

Kiyonari has improved himself a lot from the start of season? It seems that he has a potential to get better results than Checa in following races? Maybe podium finish!

Sofuoglu was inconsistent at the beginning until Monza race. If he raced he would break his unluck here but he wouldn' t do? So brother lost in a national race prevented him and dropped his motivation. In brno, he was better again again he performed well. At least he did not drop his pace at the final laps! Now he is consistent than ever in WSBK, he should improve his pace and condition being in front!...

He is an emotional guy and if his team supports insistency then everybody will be satisfied by upcoming results

Kiyo & Checa should be safe next yr, plus they have just won the 8hr

This is a harsh game so unless he starts getting top 5's I think Sofu will be back on the SS bike that clearly suites his style. He needs more time but at this level he might not get it.

Rea should move up, Pit deserves another shot, both are natural superbike riders

It's just so weird with Kenan. It's like everybody knows he's got it, so why isn't it working? I still think he needs more time though, and I really hope his team keeps supporting him. Like Bulent, I also had a feeling he was beginning to get there right before the tragic loss of his brother, but that was a setback. He needed races to catch up, but missed one and also had a tragedy on his hands. I still think he'll become a great champion in the future though. Just needs to keep pushing & keep kearning, that's what great riders do!

Rob,

What would be the point in Kenan dropping down a class? It would be counter productive and a complete waste of time, he kicked everyones' ars.es last year! He is not the first supersport champion to struggle in the big class (Chambon, Muggeridge - the latter still struggles after all these ye****).

Obviously he has had a torrid time, both on and off track, but what he needs now is some loyalty, time and support from Ten Kate. I truly believe that just like in his first supesport year, he will find a base setting and style that suddenly just clicks, and then the results will start to come.

It' s just a time matter to boost his performance for Kenan! Where and when but for answer not so long to wait for us?...
