I'm surprised that no thread has been started on this yet, expecially as the race is on in less than 12 hours.

Yep,
I'll be sky+'ing the races to watch later...going out for a ride this morning then watching WSB and BSB later

Superstock 1000 qualifying results HERE!

Excellent racing folks. The chamionship is shaping up to be a good one. I'll leave it at that so I don't spoil it for anyone.

Yep, it was good. A bit disappointing for JT though but he scored points in both races...thats all that matters!

one thing I didn't quite understand .. the circuit has been resurfaced & the race was run in the reverse direction to usual. is the direction change now a permananet thing for the track or can it now be run either way?

.. vaguely related .. there was a nice story from Mondello about how in the early years of the circuit (early 90's?) a team turned up late for practise or whatever & couldn't get a bike out on the circuit in time. helpful irishman offers to take them around in the course car, which he duly does, & the team are very grateful. next day the rider rolls out to qualify/race & discovers that the helpful irishman had driven them the *wrong way round* the track

I believe that it is a permenent arrangement, however, unless they have made changes to the run-off areas then there shouldn't be any problems with running in either direction.

the circuit can only be run one way. they have changed the way it runs permanently.
