With all the hubbub about GP it seems Tom Sykes winning the SBK championship in race 1 was overlooked.

Both races were snoozers except the last 2 laps of race 1.

I think Eugene Laverty made the best, and most humiliating, pass on Melandri I have ever seen in Jerez's final corner, one lap after Melandri roughed him up with a pretty marginal move.

Lorenzo would never make it in that series. Marquez, on the other hand, would be right at home.

Check it out if you get a chance.

Glad to see Sykes get it after being robbed last year .

+1 as well. Laverty's pass was fantastic! You know he had to be pissed about Melandri's pass, which was very borderline IMO. He would have forced a crash had there been gravel instead of pavement outside the curbing.

2014 might could be a good year for Honda if they get off their butts, and they are due.  Do you suppose they watch the sales numbers for everyone.  Between last year & this year did Kawasaki enjoy any better sales on the ZX10?
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
