World Superbikes Rd 3 - Crutchlow takes second Superpole in succession

4 different makes on the front row....should be some great racing!

Crutchlow takes second Superpole in succession

My tip is Max Biaggi to win at least one of the 2 races, and Crutchlow to stay on the bike, and win the other, with Haslam on the podium in both races...

:thumbup:

I cannot believe how bad the factory Duke's are going this year considering they are getting outgunned by the privateer Duke teams.

Nice to see the R1 out front. If Haga can't win, fingers crossed Crutchlow can do the double :thumbup:

Yes, factory Ducati boys in Superbikes are not going very well at all, wonder if it has got anything to do with team personel changes, eg, the exit of team manager,David Tardozze?

I have thought the very same thing with Davide leaving. How much of a dent has it put in the Ducati team.

I reckon it would be very significant....His record is amazing, much like Jeremy Burgess's.

Is hard to replace someone like that, without there being a few hiccups.

He practically spent his whole career with Ducati. Considering all the Manufacturers & Riders Titles he has been there for, its not exactly a guy you want replace and/or see leave for the sake of change.

Didn't he leave because he was so frustrated that Haga lost last years title even though he had a 90 point lead before the halfway point?

Didn't tardozzi go to BMW, maybe that's one reason they're doing even better this year
