Superbikes Round 7 Phillip Island

[Steph]

Thought I'd start the thread for the weekend. I'm not going to get concerned that Jamie was only 9th fastest in the first practice. Waiting to hear some news. The weather isn't going to work in their favor this weekend, I'm guessing.

don't want to show your hand too early eh steph

might be a shower or two today and tomorrow but sunday should be perfect.

[Steph]

Message from Sue was that it's freezing down there and apparently they had problems with the bike in the first practice session. I do hope your right about the weather and that it will be better by Sunday. I remember that Jamie had gone on about how strange the weather was at P.I., four seasons in a day. The two times I was there last year it was quite nice. I told him he was lying to me

[Steph]

Word is they got the tech hitch sorted so they were running 4th, much better.

no the island is famous for it....for seasons in a square kilometer is a pretty apt description.

although i've gotta say, the trip i just had to the island, my 14th, was the best weather ever

cool, has jamie got the same tyres as the honda guys (i mean i know he has the same tyres - but has he got the same tyres, 'lm sure you know what i mean steph) ? be interesting to see which goes better - michies or dungplops

Jamie 5th after 2nd practice with a 1'36.014" as opposed to Krusty's Prov pole of 1'35.00" and Goey's 2nd fastest of 1'35.54". But as they always say, you can't win a race in practice, so we will see what sunday brings. Forecast is good at this stage. Good luck team Green!

Jamie on Provisional pole.............from brooksey, krusty and the go show...yep you read correctly......goey in 4th.

Josh Waters 5th and Chris Seaton 7th.

[Phil]

final qualifying has Jamie in second .02 behind brooksey.

Russell Holland (former Kawasaki 600 pilot) was third with krusty rounding out the first row.

championship leader shaun giles in 7th behind goey and dan stauffer. Shannon Johnson rounds out the second row.

Go Jamie

[Steph]

Such a narrow margin to miss pole by! He sounded a little disappointed but is now focused on winning tomorrow...feels good about the bike's set-up and his confidence is high.
Don't miss the interview on the Formula-xtreme website. It's in the audio from the last 10 minutes of Superbike Qualifying. Jamie's finally showing his humorous side.
