WSBK Test at Jerez

[900gc]

Yikes! Johnny Rea in testing went faster than the MotoGP pole time from this past season! Best rider on an even better bike does not bode well for the competition next year!

Should be interesting with the new Hondas and Laverty back with Aprilia.

That track is not really going to show off differences between motogp development and wsbk development. The longest straight is only around 3/8ths of a mile.

Still, wsbk is impressive.

Especially when you consider how close the highest level of commercially available bikes are.

We truly live in the Golden Age of motorcycles. I hope euro regs on emissions don't end it.

I think Jonathan Rea deserves a MotoGP ride though.

So far this season Rea is dominant. One wonders if Ducati will be telling Melandri to let Davies by him? If he had Davies might have been able to compete with Rea.
