Sykes-Checa-Laverty-Melandri front row

Biaggi-Haslam-Rae-Davies row 2

Sykes time beat Rae's fastest qualifier by at least a couple of tenths.

Plenty with good race pace. Should be great races tomorrow.

Just wish Sykes could put all those poles into to some podiums. The Portimao grid looks great and well mixed. Should be a rockin' race... make that 2 races. [thumbsup] [Dolph]

Noticed my beloved Directv isn't broadcasting both the WSBK races and the Supersport race until Tuesday. Guess that fills my TV watching calender for Tuesday! [popcorn] [bacon]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Sykes will finish in the top 3 this year...

he's had podiums.

Race 2 was kind of boring,

Laverty has the Ape figured out,

Rae is still on a relic...

and Max will win the championship.

Is there anybody (of significance) on the grid that Melandri hasn't hit this year?

He turned into a train wreck when the pressure was on.

I see by your post link that Portimao is questionable for next year's schedule. Is that true? It's only been on the calender for what... three, maybe four years since it was brand new? My impression since day one was that everyone loved it. Racers and fans alike. What happened to their "financial" situation to possibly boot them off the WSBK chart for 2013? Is it that damn world economic crisis that's still screwing around with my job prospects? >:( [bang] [roll]

WSBK in Laguna Seca is all cool beans and what not but even being a God fearing, flag waving American doesn't make me think Laguna Seca is better than Portimao. There, the gaunlet has been thrown down... talk amongst yourselves. [popcorn]

Nice article and all but where does it mention Portimao's financial troubles (or Portugal's) and their possible exclusion from the 2013 calender? I know geographically Spain and Portugal could hit each other with sling shots and I know about Spain, Greece, etc and their Euro financial meltdowns. Just saying the ouster of Portimao is news to me and others. And no, even though Nate thinks I live under a rock I don't. [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Just wondering what happened. [popcorn]

Portugal is on the same boat. Not sure if you could see the grandstands in the coverage, but most likely it looked empty, just as just about every event held in Spain and Italy thus far. The track is finding it hard to put butts in seats and a round od WSBK requires that you hire a small army. It's sad because it truly is a good track.

have you seen the prices of WSBK/MotoGP/F1? I would gladly take my whole family to every race, if it wouldn't cost a small fortune to do so.
