NOPE...my expectation is to see a good dogfight with Marco and Max...and if Laverty can get a good set-up/feeling, maybe he can scoop up the benefits from them pissing with each other!

Toseland's "comeback" awaits another weekend. Lanzi rode his satellite BMW in this session.

True, but still the first two off the front are Ducs at this time. This is what I love about WSBK. You never know until the race is on!

I don't think we can count any qualifying time by Smrz as indicative of race pace. What he lacks in vowels makes up in the ability to go batshit fast for one lap.

Didn't Smrz lead for a whole bunch of laps a few races back? Understandably the exception rather than the rule. Even the commentators were impressed for a while. 

he has an uncanny ability to be fast on the wrong day of the weekend
