Seeing that Terol and Davies could have been the top two qualifiers, a good start for Ducati!

PS

Troy has one of the fastest bikes on the grid and no excuses not to place!!!

Can't really take much from the 1st part, since I'm pretty sure they were the only ones to get a hot lap in on Qualifying rubber. Good showing as it is, though.

As for TB, it's interesting to see that even though he just missed making SP2, TB's 1:32.201 on race rubber was quicker than Torres' 1.32.243, Sykes' 1.32.265, Guintoli's 1.32.446, or Baiocco's 1.32.841. Not many laps in but he's in the mix already. Shame he lost FP1 or I'd think he'd have been in SP2 for sure.

WSSP riders are only 1 second off of the top 3 SBK times.

MV, ZX6R and R6's lead the pack. Why no 899's racing?

Maximum displacement for WSS twins is 749cc. Has always been the limit. Ducati's last legal bike was the 749r

Already there

awesome race 1

Rea
Haslam
Davies

Lol, what a race! Rea puts the mean green machine on top of the podium in his first race with Kawasaki. Can't wait for race 2!!

Have no idea how Haslam kept it on two wheels through the grass like that then came charging back to the front!

Great race .

1199 I seriously thought he was done when he hit the grass. Amazing riding

Ducati tyre wear seems to be good . Can't wait for race 2 . Cooler here today
