Haslam has big respect for pushing that GSXR to the limit both races and not making huge mistakes.

Yeah I think the Aprilia was a good 5kmh faster than the Suzuki on the front stretch.

I think Rea could be real good in the future. I just think he is far too inconsistant. How many times last year did he burn into corners or miss braking points, and screw himself out of positions.

so did i i think laverty is in trouble too

damn skippy. I cant wait till camier gets fully sorted on the thing so we can see both prillers on the podium can you imagine if fim lets them use the gear driven cam kit?

The Aprilia does look to be the package to beat. I would wager the Ducs will get a smaller restrictor probably next year, cause the FIM moves slow. But the rest of them better hope they can suck it up or that Biaggi crashes alot...
