Good first race and the super sports is a crash-fest, hope they're all ok.
 
Looks like Checa is really going to be hard to stop this year.
 
It's a miracle no one was seriously injured in this super sport race.

Good point, Sam Lowes is back in England and ready to watch his bro on Monday at Brands, claiming to soon be back "onit" :)
 
Monza Spoiler - don't read if you haven't watched the races yetGlad Laverty did the double, but awful, awful result in Race 2. Reminds me of FIA's buffoonery when Hamilton won the title in 2008. Basically gifted the race to Laverty/Melandri, not to mention seriously helping Checa...
 
That was a well-earned first win for Eugene.
 
That was a bit harsh on Biaggi because it would be really difficult to judge when you're allowed to get going again without gaining time from so far in front; but I suppose rules are rules. Great job for 3 British wins, especially Northern Irish but still gets an Irish flag Laverty
 
The next round of the World Superbike Championship will be here in the United States on May 30th. It will be great to see the World Superbike riders and teams turned loose at Miller Motorsports Park. Do you think SBK may keep racing at MMP, or do you think SBK could possibly race elsewhere, like maybe the new Circuit of the Americas course?

I hope they stay at Miller. It looks like such a fun course. Austin will get plenty of action from MotoGP and F1. It would be nice if they raced at both!

Ducati did more or less the same thing (strange since WSBK goes out of its way to cater to Ducati) so at least this doesn't mean the end of Yamaha in WSBK...

Yes they're just pulling out their full factory support but will still have customer teams. Basically when the **** hits the fan it's not their fault.
