World Superbikes are at glorious Monza today

wish MotoGP would go to Monza and let those 265bhp bikes loose
the World Superbikes are doing 210mph there

Marco's bike bucking and weaving coming on to the straight in superpole. :eek:

Sykes looks on it as usual.

Hope Chaz can out score Marko again.

Come on the Brits.

(and Irish)

Looks like my friends bike when he crashed last year, was certainly a nasty off

Race 1 was good, Supersport race leaders all crashed due to oil on the track. The marshal was pointing to it but race direction did nothing, don't agree with their rules over penalties on the chicanes either

Is this race ever going to start!

ShakenNstirred · 12 May 2013 at 13:44

3 red flags, not seen that many for a while

Incinerat0r · 12 May 2013 at 16:01

4th time lucky, go Sam!

Can't believe they are thinking of dumping Monza from the calender...its a hell of a track but the first chicane needs binning for sure.

According to Twitter (although nothing actually from WSBK directly) word is Monza has a deal until 2014.
