And from me; more carnage this morning, Guintoli just tossed it away at T9, and the resulting fire didn't do his bike a whole lot of good.....he's gone to the medical centre, so we'll wait and see. And Carlos is in hospital with a serious belly ache! Lots of sore bodies around I can tell you that. :huh
Sounds like a few more big crashes today. Camier chucked his GSXR into the woods. That is his bike to the right of the billboard. :eek1
Camier was way lucky to get away with that. But the bike...well she's done! Travelled an unbelievable distance. The new surface is giving them a whole new package, different lines, different speeds in different places. It's gunna take a while to get it all sorted. Errr, which makes me a little nervous with my first track day on the new tarmac in a cupla weeks........:huh When they do get it sorted there are gunna be some interesting times, and races.

Indeedy it is! And the 'prillas are bloody quick! Well until Guintoli threw it away at T12. She's a bit 2nd hand now. I'm at T1, which is kinda Noice....Only one Duke out today, and Carlos is clearly struggling. Bet he wishes he still had his trusty old gal. (If just for a decent soundtrack!)
MV ss bikes sound glorious! Lowes, fastest, a few tenths off fastest time ever. A strong tailwind managed to push Tom Sykes to 322kph! :huh
