Stupid Virgin box recording broke so I had to wait until 2pm to watch it

Was good to see the bikes back on track again, hopefully Sykes can make up for being so close last year!

Sam Lowes seems to be dominating the Supersport on that R6, over half a second ahead in qualifying, 1 second ahead in practice. Hopefully some good racing to watch tomorrow
