WSBK World Championship Shootout

[Triple J]

EBR will be interesting to watch this season. I don't expect them to win or anything, but what level of improvement they can achieve might (a big might) surprise people.

Larry's crew chief is at a lot of our WMRRA rounds, and he worked with me quite a bit on a chatter problem I was having during a trackday. He said they've made a LOT of changes to the EBR bike since they got a hold of it, and he was excited to see what they could do in WSBK.

The EVO-ish rules will help them a bit, I think.

[The Don]

I love a under dog, I hope ebr does well

I don't see the EBR going very far next year.

Even with Canepa onboard.

Someone needs to send Guintoli a DVD of 'Groundhog Day'.

Michael vdM looks chuffed, Sylvain..... not so much.

[duccarlos]

Sylvain looks like he's gonna kill his manager.

[Grampa]

His wife just told his she's preggers again.

Sounds like Guintoli hit the deck during the Jerez test today, and did not continue riding due to "suspected neck and leg injuries."

I hope he's cleared to ride tomorrow.

[Grampa]

I wanna see Rea do well this year.

[Triple J]

I wanna see Rea do well this year.

+1. I think he's the guy to beat this year now that he is finally on good equipment.
