Sykes and Baz both went down at KRT Island testing

Not the news I was hoping for, yet am very thankful that injuries weren't any worse.

Sykes fell and injured his left hand on day one after less than ten laps of the PI circuit, which has recently been resurfaced. He underwent a medical examination right away and will be ready to take to the track once again in a few days for the official pre-race tests.

Loris was posting fast times on his first visit to Phillip Island but pushed a little too hard on day one and had a high speed fall. It was decided to rest him to be ready for the next tests at the track in the state of Victoria, after he fell hard and suffered pain in his back.

sheesh

This bike made it a long way from the track

Is that legit?
Who's bike is that??

It's Leon camiers. Apparently there is so much grip from the new surface that the riders are pushing harder and harder to find the limits until they obviously push too hard

Glen Allerton has said that the surface is so smooth that there's no feeling in the front end when does begin to slide.
Seems to be half the problem.
