Vermeulen spoils all Ducati front row
SuperPole final results

I had a feeling this was going to happen. He got steadily faster every session. Good on ya, mate. Stick it to Ducati!

Re: Vermeulen spoils all Ducati front row
Thanks for the update tbeemer.
Unfortunately, he's just over a second off Laconi's pace in Superpole, and about 0.8 secs off Laconi's best lap time, not to mention several of the other Ducatis that got into the 36's as well. I think Vermeulen's best hope may be fifth place, but he's an excellent racer and might just make me eat my words. Go Chris!

Re: Vermeulen spoils all Ducati front row
I was pretty excited to see a Honda on the front row. He is a great rider and Ten Kate racing really know their stuff. Tomorrow ought to be great and I can't wait.

This might actually give me the reason I needed to watch the Ducati cup this year.

If Vermeulen were riding an R1 he would have won the race already.

Damn it, BDA, I'm gettin' really fed up with you hyping the R1 all the time.
Take your friggin' crap to the R1 forums where it belongs.

The FP1 is the Fogarty Petronas Bike. Looks like a teal flamethrower. Pic

Re: Vermeulen spoils all Ducati front row
Anyone else notice how stable Vermullens bike was compared to the DUCs. Kind of interesting, 5th place for Hondas first race on the 1000RR, Vermullens 1st WSB race---not too shabby, the Suz, Yama, Kawi's werent anywhere close.
Anyone know the new rules---are the I4 restrictors gone??? doesnt seem like it

Yes, they are... Also looked like Ver's CBR is much much more stock than the AMA bikes are.

I did notice that the R1 was the first bike lapped in both races...

But hey, at least it got a little TV time...

Honda has some more testing to do if they are going to keep up with the ducs... Damn those things were on fire this weekend.
