WSBK: The race that says it's in San Marino, but isn't, really (Spoilers)

[SIZE=-1]SPECIAL LIVERY FOR MELANDRI AND GUINTOLI'S RSV4s IN TO COMMEMORATE APRILIA'S FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY IN 1987




[/SIZE]

So I assume SBK is allowing them to use a 1987 cc motor???




jk

That is a damn good looking bike...

A race actually in San Marino would be awesome. Dangerous, but awesome

PJ fast in FP2. Learning courses pretty quick. Amazing.

+1!

WSS qualy was more entertaining.

"Tom Lowes"? You need to stop cutting and pasting from superbikeplanet

Can someone explain how the EVO class works?

Yes. Supersport as well.
I was making pancakes and watching on the iPad and once I got to where I could pay attention I got confused a few times.

PJ just passed Superglue for 2nd place. Very early, though. Unfortunately I have to leave now and won't see the finish

Davies DNF'd in Race 2.

Great to see Jacobsen on the poduim. Baz vs. Melandri in race two was thrilling. Very happy for Sykes doing the double after the rough weekend at Sepang. Good stuff from WSBK.

And Giugliano jumped the start. Hard times in Ducativille.

The bike is pretty good, though. I figured the new Superbike would be another turnip truck with that chassis design. Good to see the Panigale is a good platform for production racing.
