It's a sure sign of the apocalypse, a Kawi on pole in WSBK.  ???

I liked seeing that. Something new and weird. I'm sure conditions played a role, since when were the Kawi SBKs faster than their street bikes? [laugh] Good for Sykes, that's gotta feel good. [thumbsup] Gonna be a wild one... I hope! I'd like to see Max wrap it up at Imola. How sweet would that be? Italy would go on vacation for the rest of the month!! [wine] [beer] [clap]

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."

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Pretty sure it's the 2010 version that they have been running all year. Looking forward to a big effort next year with the new bike. I love seeing 5-6 different brands fighting for the top 10 spots. The more the better! [thumbsup] That says a lot about the rules being fair.

Maybe, just maybe it's a Ducati track?

What happened to Max?

He certainly got his head back together for the second race. [thumbsup]

Too bad that Haslam's bike calved...

It would have been fun to see the title go to the last weekend.

And Ducati 1,2, and 3 in the first race and 1 and 2 in race 2.

I guess the bike still can be competitive at tracks without long straights

Out-make the beast with two backsing-standing!! I've been on a all day ride and this is what I wanted to see when I got home! Congrats to Checa and Ducati for winning on home soil and big congrats to Max and the Ap crew for the title... also on home soil! [thumbsup] [wine] [bow_down]

was great to see Haslam trying his ass off, till the motor let go...I guess you can say he is a never say die type of guy...

Checa just seems to have a magic with that bike that no one else can muster..come from the back and just ply his will through the field and keep on going...

WTF was up with the Kwak this week...Sykes was just amazing with that thing...from outta nowhere...

and the 1st race with all the "off track excursions"....that was just nuts....

Yeah, as much as I wanted Max to take the title at Imola I also hated to see Haslam go out with an engine failure. How often does that happen? Checa being robbed of the double at Miller comes to mind but that wasn't total engine failure. Have to admit, these race bikes are pretty damn reliable.

Too bad Haslam also just lost his job for next year after having such a great season. [bang] At least Alstare is handling it in a fair fashion. They can't help that sponsorship $$$ just vanished for next year. Hopefully someone will have the good sense to snatch up Leon ASAP. [thumbsup]

I also agree that it was a good weekend for Sykes! When did FIM allow Kawi to add the nitros kits?? [laugh] Good for Sykes! [clap]
