Watching the rerun of Aragon last week, they keep mentioning Sykes MY19 turning in real quick, however lacking power and being taken loads of bike.... I did not think it was that slow, but the other bikes a walking all over it....

Bautista is phenomenal though

Sykes has been saying that the bike is so good in corners that he runs the risk of hitting other bikes up the jacksie...

On a slightly related note, just been looking at the BSB testing times from Silverstone. They, like previous tests abroad don't feature Smiths or Tyco. Any idea what they're doing for pre-season testing?

BMW are targetting a WSBK engine for Imola.

For now they are on a blueprinted STOCKER...now consider the speed difference...

They interviewed Tom's crew chief who said the problem with the SBK engine at the moment was getting 3 or more meeting out of it to meet the engine allocation limit. It all just takes time.
