Represent. Represent.

 

Its GREAT!!! I was just gonna start a post in Josh's support. It would be AWESOME if he takes it all. I look forward to see how he does.

 

Nice to see him show his true colors - since everyone's on a even playing field this week with it being a new track, and wet qualifying!
Not to mention - Honda dominated qualifying... 8 out of the top ten!

Here are the real qualifying results:

Damn that's a close field... top 20 separated by 1.6 seconds...
Josh ended up 8th BTW

 

WTH is Sofouglu doing back in Supersport?

 

He and Rea swapped seats for the last round - as that's what going to happen next year, Rea will be on the Superbike and Sofouglu back to the supersport bike...

 

Looks like a good switch. I haven't seen the Supersport race yet (don't spoil it).

 

****SPOILER****





Josh got a hard fought 4th. Very respectable. I applauded the finish. I was very proud of him.

It was clear that his English developed 600RR was down on power compared to the other 3 bikes, especially the Ten Kate machines. Sofuoglu just whizzed by effortlessly.

 

I was VERY PROUD of Josh!!! I hope he gets a ride in World SuperSport

 

Although I'm sad to see him leave Honda for Yamaha, I'm glad he finally got his Superbike ride. Well earned, Josh.

Honda has the amazing penchant for letting good talent walk out the door. I'd been thinking of buying some Honda parent company stock, but now I'm like WTF Honda?
