I heard that superpole 1 will include the top 15 (down from 16) qualifiers.

Does anyone know if there are any other changes? I always found the 2 qualifying tire rule odd. Do it all the way (with 3 tires for 3 sessions) or don't have qualifying tires at all.

One Roman leaves the factory Aprilia as world champion, and another one looks to be doing what he can to pick up the mantle, on a privateer Aprilia. Fabrizio looks like he's trying to best Davies' results as last year's best privateer Aprilia.

FP2 is happening as I type this. Now that QP2's settled, which determines the Top 15 to enter Superpole, it's going to be interesting to look at the laps from FP2, see who has the most consistent and best race pace.

Damn, speaking of memory. I watched the 1988 WSBK season on ESPN (usually aired 2 weeks after the actual race date ugh). And now it's 2013....that's 25 MFing years of WSBK racing goodness. :thumbup

I get ya

today, I cruised the SBK site & discovered my old Laguna Seca buddy, Falappa. Still alive, & until recently a fixture on the world level as a Ducati legend & Corse ambassador

Giancarlo was a BIG sensation for 4 seasons or so way back when, on Bimota & factory Ducati in SBK

It's so nice to see Leon and the Suzuki getting off to a good start. Times were down today from yesterday; wind must have been up or something. I think Melandri crashed during the session too, but got fast lap...

Checa was fast in testing earlier in the week. We'll see what superpole and the races look like...


Even so, the margins between top of the pile and midpack are so small... (comparitively speaking to MotoGP...)

Looks like these streetbikes are about 2 seconds per lap faster than the horribly failed CRT clusterfuck. So, I'm happy. Very, very happy .:laughing

I took the Top 5 order out of Superpole and looked at their FP2 lap analysis, when they strung together more laps, just to see who might have the best race pace. I excluded timed in and out laps.

Hard to tell about Melandri, since he didn't do quite as many laps as the rest.

Not as fast as I look.

I love the charts!
Laverty looks like Lorenzo in this chart. Must be good for second. :teeth

Yup, Eugene is going to be a playa this season. He was coming on very strong at the end of last season.

My bad. I thought I had grabbed the final Superpole results, but I think that was only the end of Superpole 1 or 2 or something.

This will be the grid order for the race:
