That’s close to a three second difference in the field. That’s really a lot.

Its early!

Its early!

It’s early for the GP riders too but they only have a one second difference.

Final from the test.

Those ‘28 are freaking fast. Best time last year was 1.29.400 by Toprak.
Best time GP last year 1.27.246 by Martin

Pit stops mandatory for Philip Island now.

Are they changing tires or bikes?

FP1 results from Philip Island just now. Iannone is my dark horse for this race!

Why is Yamaha in 1st and 4th here and not in MotoGP?

Tires.

Why is Yamaha in 1st and 4th here and not in MotoGP?

What do you mean? Two different championships, different bikes, different riders.

Each manufacturer is supposed to be doing their best within the rules of their sanctioning body. So my query was, why are their bikes seemingly better in WSB than in MotoGP. Ducatis should be dominant like they are in GP racing. The two best Yamahas in GP are only 14th and 16th.

SBK bikes have to be close to what we can buy whereas MotoGP bikes are like F1 cars.

Ducati isn't dominating on the street..

This is why I like SBK better, they are closer to bikes we can buy.

We compare the two championships including which is the fastest and did you know WSBK alter the relative bike performance during the season?

The only thing they have in common is the name of the brand. For the rest, two completely different engines.
Look for the reason in the budgets.
It is not without reason that Suzuki has given up on it. Honda and Yamaha are not doing well in that area either, and that is reflected in the development costs. Only the European brands are faring better, with Ducati having a gigantic brand behind it, and that is Audi.

FP3 results. Gerloff looking pretty strong here. Vierge must have gotten a hell of a tow on that lap! No way the Honda is that strong!

If anybody is interested MavTV is streaming Race 1 live at 9:00pm tonight. Free to watch on Pluto!

Yeeeahhhhh, three brands in the top three slots and just 0.274 of a second separates the top seven bikes. (That’s) racing. Now, if they can keep it up in traffic…

It will be necessary to keep Bautista in check, otherwise he will be unstoppable. Rea will be good, but not a winner. Don't you find it strange that Toprak went to BMW and lost his chance for a GP seat, or does he know more and BMW may be planning to go to the GP?

Ben Spies was in an interview.... He told Toprak that Toprak was better off to build himself a legacy in world superbike. Basically it's more difficult to build successful career in MotoGP.

If you think about legacy think about Troy Bayliss and other multiple champions.

Toprak was so lucky to walk (more or less) away from this today! Why the hell is there a wall there? No Airfence? Sorry, terrible audio on this, sombody's cell phone grab from a TV.
