The format can be confusing.

Quali is Saturday morning and then race one on Saturday afternoon. There's a sprint race Sunday morning, and that race determines a new grid for Sunday's race two.

Three Superbike races, plus two Supersport races as well as a 300 class race.

Fantastic racing this year and Johnny Rea's pulling off Marc Marquez saves...


This is most likely the reason I don't quite understand the format, but I guess no time like now to figure it out see what riders I can support.

Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki), Scott Redding (Ducati) and Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yamaha) are at the really sharp end, but Michael Ruben Rinaldi, Chas Davies and Alex Lowes are all fast enough to win. Tom Sykes makes the BMW faster than it is, and at some point the new Honda will come good and Alvaro Bautista will be challenging.

Supersport is easy... Just shout for Steven Odendaal on the Yamaha.

I wont support Rea or Reading mostly because its easy to support the top riders when you first start, so will look at the ones outside of them.

Maybe Chaz Davies or Alex Lowes he has a twin brother in Moto2

Are you saying it's not going to go well?
Nah, he'll be okay. He's straightened up and flying right now, but the beginning of the season was a whole other story.

Yamaha shoulda put Toprak on that bike 'tho, the kid is ridiculously fast... I guess playing to a US teevee market is more profitable than to Turkish fans.

That was the rumour that Toprak is going to fill Rossi's seat when he leaves but who knows how true that is.
