WSBK » Corser bemoans 'strange' Superpole after tactical error

Bummer. You can see why he'd be hacked off too if he had posted a faster time in an earlier session, thought it would be carried forward, and it wasn't. Like he says, he'll not make that mistake again.

I guess 0.812 seconds and 10 riders between Spies & Sykesy says 'its not just the bike' either.

WSBK » Spies settles nerves with Superpole triumph

Oooooh Haga ........... What happened there? That I wouldn't have bet on. Tho Mrs Hedgeholer sort of did Him (Spies) and Biaggi ..... and him and Rea too I may not hear the last of this for some time

MOTOGP » Bulgaria to host MotoGP

You tell 'em DC, sound fellows those Wombles and clearly right up your street. I presume you recommend they use the world renown Wimbledon Common circuit?

WSBK » Corser paces himself as development continues

Personally I think he's fairly unlikely to invade Belgium Clint, but, Plovers, seagulls and other aeronautical thugs aside, he might make the top 6 over the weekend. Its beginning to look like a very outside chance he'll land a podium too. And if it was anyone other than Corser sitting at 16th at the Island after practice I'd not be even thinking there's an outside chance. Rolfo's 3 places higher but I'd be astounded to see him there this weekend fer instance. What's not so auspicious is Xaus is even further down the listing and trailing by over half a second. Which makes me think they might be begining to get that BM thereabouts. But its not completely there yet.

WSBK » Haga happy but admits to tyre concerns

Heat and tyres is what's bugging Nueukirchner & Kagy too. Given that its hot enough to boil a monkey's bum there this may be unsurprising.

Good point well made Morgue. Obviously he's ...... Experienced

WSBK » WSS: Phillip Island - Free practice times (1)

Call me a soft-hearted git but my sympathy's with Sofuoglu after all the grief he had last year. Its 'only' practice but I'm pleased to see him back at the top of the list. That might give him a bit of encouragement. And on the other hand there's only a fag-paper gap between the top guys so it looks like being a close hard-fought season in WSS as well as WSB.

WSBK » You say Spies, Spies says Haga

Well, yes & no Larkspur 'Cos it ain't an exact analogy. Kiyo's a hell of good rider (and I reckon being seriously under estimated for this season) but last year the poor sod was having the hell confused out of him by riding a Ten Kate prepped 'Blade in WSB in between being repeatedly hauled half way round the globe back to Japan to test the HRC Suzuka 'Blade - which was similar enough to confuse anyone whist being different in a lot of ways that meant he couldn't shove a lot of processes to his sub-conscious - which is what would ordinarily happen with just one bike to learn.

WSBK » Phillip Island test - Overall times

Just in case anyone didn't notice, these are the overall times for *this* test. Biaggi's 1min 32.59 would've put him in this lot. Hell Tamada's 1m 33.9 would have pu him in too & he was 8th last week. Then again, you can't exactly compare different days I s'pose.
