    I'm still rooting for Sykes and Rea to take it all the way for Mamma Kawa. Hopefully Sykes will be in good form and ready to be competitive for this round.

    I hope you're right.

    This is a new track for everyone, right?

    It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out. Sykes wasn't well and has a history of not doing well at Phillip Island, and he managed to get up to the leaders from a starting position of 8th. Rea just flat out owned both races, but the Aprilia apparently has a bit of a top end advantage over the Kawasaki.

    Thanks for the pic of layout. Doesn't look too technical, has some decent straights, along with several passing zones.

    No doubt it will be steamy there, and I wouldn't be surprised if it rained.

    I hope Randy has a better weekend this time out. I wonder if there is still some colour in his butt. This has to hurt...

    I thought that's what happens when an MV gets rammed up your butt?
