Brands Hatch - Qualifying times (1).

I realise it's only first days practice but I wonder if there has ever been a session where 3 Japanese riders filled the top 3 spots outside of Japan?

AHAHAHA!!!!

Kiyo 1st
Lavilla 6th
Sykes 9th

FANTASTIC display by the new boys!!!!

ROll on sunday!! i cant wait!

Tommy Sykes for a Podium Finish!

BSB is being represented very well.

Looking good, hopefully Walker will find some speed after hes got used to the new bike tomorrow!

Personally I'd like to see Kiyo win. Future world champion.

the top 16 riders are all within a second from pole position!!! what an amazing display of how competitive world superbikes has become! my dream: to one day do a track day at Brands Hatch (gotta get outta canada and hit europe, where the real tracks are at!!)

if sykes sticks that chin out a bit more then second row is possible....

Hay!!! what can i say you guys said it all. Yeah come on over Elias K . Man i don,t know how you cope living in Canada without top line Bike Racing.I have relatives over there but there is no way they would get me over there during the racing season. I would rather drink CastrolR ! Chin up mate i feel for you.

Last post should have said from (Locks46)now Locks46&52

Got to change my name Grrrr

Blimey - a tough first day for a lot of people.

Delighted Kiyo is showing his pace now after a quiet(ish) start to the season.

Bet Walker is made up he got off an uncompetitive WSS bike and onto something else.... :-(
