Alright guys, who's paying attention to WSBK this year? Honda despite being on ancient machinery is holding their own.

Van Der Mark and Hayden are doing pretty well considering their company.

Nice to see him win again. Its been a long time... Even though the wet changes everything, he earned it. His experience paid off for him, instead of everyone in front of him crashing out and handing it to him.

It was good to see. That move he made on Sykes to take the lead was great. To be honest, I thought the Hondas would be a lot further back considering how old that model is, and I couldn't believe , even in the wet, it could win. Van der Mark put it on the podium at Phillip Island right? Or was that a different track? Either way, I'm surprised they're that competitive

I don't even remember Phillip Island....

Rain is the great equalizer. the bike really doesn't matter. It's all about how big of ***** the rider has.

Cam is p9 after day 1 @ Donnington. That's a hell of a lot better than I thought he'd be.

WorldSBK


He's ahead of both Factory Hondas too. I wonder why the Honda is so slow at Donnington....


And check out Davies. He had a really "hot" lap...



It caught on fire before he came to a stop and jumped off... Haven't seen bikes catch fire like that before...
