Suzuki do generally seem to go well in testing but it doesn't really carry over to the racing. It could be a PR thing to make the sponsors hopeful or just that they're putting in quali laps while other teams are testing parts and set ups.
I hope it's different this year though.
Looking forward to some racing whatever happens Very Happy

Just caught superpole. Suzukis still in touch, although you can't really look past the Aprilias for tomorrows race. Lowes looks like he's trying really hard and he's quite prone to the odd mistake!!
The althea ducati looks pretty Cool

I stayed up for Race1. Phillip Island doesn't disappoint.

Saw race 1 on record, not seen 2 yet.

Philip Island is a Duc friendly track so I'd like to see how it does from now on. Suzuki up there makes it interesting too. But considering BMW is gone it kind of balances out.

Ooooh Bayliss said he might make a wild card appearance in WSBK! He will also be testing the SBK and GP bike

Thank gawd for Channel 4 coverage (yeah one of the commentators is overly excitable...) but I'd have missed this if it wasn't for their early morning coverage a couple of weeks later.

Confusing much...Guintoli (GUI) and Giugliano (GIU) in the listing. Clanger, gotta think in numbers fast! Laughing
