Guintoli continues to get the last laugh: Effenbert Racing withdraws from WSBK.

 

[deanzaZZR]

Race #2 from last year. Now that's winning with style! :laughing

 

[kevin 714]

[firstbuell]

Go Chaz !!

 

[sidewazzz]

Wish gp would go back

 

[kevin 714]

Saw the ape with number 58 and got all nostalgic about when sic wild carded that one time


I voted tommy. Guintoki doesn't count lol

 

[Spec-ECU]

I voted tommy. Guintoki doesn't count lol

Have you heard his hybrid accent?? :laughing

 

[Spec-ECU]

Hmm, Sykes leading the poll at this time.

In the last four rounds, there has been eight races. Did you know that Guintoli has finished ahead of Sykes in the first four races, while Sykes has finished ahead of Guintoli in the last four races? :nerd

 

[kevin 714]

Yeah but guinters is French I don't care what you say lol

Guinters for the title!!

 

[deanzaZZR]

Yeah but guinters is French I don't care what you say lol

Guinters for the title!!

That would be the first time (WSBK) for a Frenchie, correct?

 

[kevin 714]

I don't recall a lot of the early days of wsbk but I would assume do yeah

You would be right.

Guintoli continues to get the last laugh: Effenbert Racing withdraws from WSBK.

Oops. Guess that didn't work out too well for them.

 

[budman]

Sykes is storming. Closing the gap and is in the game.

 

[DaveT319]

For the poll, it's gotta be Sykes or Davies. I just can't decide which. :dunno

 

[clutchslip]

I was so damn confused that Guintoli was in the poll, but not Laverty that I just couldn't vote, until I thought that I'd go for the underdog, Rea. Honda has a secret engine they are releasing just for this race an all hell will break loose.

(j/k. Honda weapons are all owned by Repsol, I think.) :laughing

 

[Ducky_Fresh]

Ginters

 

[TTTom]

Rea "bowling for BMWs" :laughing

apparently not a Ducati track, if such a thing even exists any more

 

[kevin 714]

not with an injured old man as your #1 rider
