WSBK Round 2 Portimao 27/28 March

[Rod Richardson]

Hassles Haslem (Suz) showing good form in 1st qual session but a heap of others on his ginger...........14 riders within 1 second of his best time to date.

Laverty (Hon) at the pointy end in Supersports.

BMW mounted Badovini and Barrier out in front in Sstk 1000 while in the Sstk 600s Marino (Hon) heads the field.


Avagoodweekend :eek:

Smrž en Biaggi have the same time in Qualifying 2!

In the Stock 600, Dutch rider Tony Covena broke his wrist in this crash during the second qualifying:

I expect sparks to fly as Haga and Fabrizio try to get through the pack.
Vermeulen's knee injury prevents him from competing.

Good to see Biaggi on the front row. Wrong tyre choice and a dislike of Portimao sees Nori Haga 18th on the grid - probably just as well to get Portimao out of the way early in the season then, but I expect better from him. I'd be surprised to see he and Fabrizio get through such a strong mid field and I agree Rod, 'sparks' will fly. I hope Chris V's recovery will be complete by the next round, bad luck that he had such a big crash first round.

Great day's racing

[The Phantom]

Yep I enjoyed that, starting to feel like we're really back in race mode now :)

Max rode really well! I think he's personally motivated to beat his old team, but Aprilia have certainly got the RSV4 working well now.
