Did anyone watch race 1 from Donnington today? What an absolute bummer!
Davies was pulling away from the pack and his front tire came out from under him.
He got back up and after about 8 laps managed to get back up to 9th place before the front came out from under him again.
Man, I was...
I hope the FIM will give the 1199R a bit more air, rethink the air restricter size used on the Panigale. They (ducati) are just getting killed in the straights on top end. I dont want it to be a Ducati show like it was back in the 90s but I would like to see a current bike not struggling...
We have 6 1199s on the official provisional entry list for 2012!
This should give us some Panigale racing to hold us over till they replace the 1198 in WSBK.

With the first SuperStock 1000 race only 7 weeks away, I would have thought Ducati would have the 1199 homologated by now.
Ducati stated they would be racing in the FIM SuperStock 1000 series for 2012, has anyone heard differently...
