I am a little suprised to see alex that far down but its still a good performance. Looks like the hondas are still lagging way behind again and guigliano is going to be great fun to watch this year I think

Lowes is making steady progress by the looks of things Fez. Under 0.5 off Laverty. I take he's not ridden Phillip Island before? Giugliano scarely in 2nd. I think the Duke went well in testing last year and that was about it wasn't it??

 

I've got a gut feeling suzuki are going to win the title this year( or at least give kawa & api a run for their money), and hopefully it'll be lowes, although if it was laverty I wouldn't mind

 

good results for Suzuki!! Lowes has to learn the circuit I guess so give him time cant wait for some bike racing to start up again!!

 

Check lowes out. Think he's done really well

 

He has done really well, just finished the day 0.3 behind 1st place sykes and right up his team mates arse. Very very impressed by alex as its his first time at the circuit. You have to view him as a regular podium finisher and maybe even a uk 3 way battle for the title

 

it's a pity he does know the tracks otherwise I'd be game enough to say he'd win the title.

You guys have to remember crescent have chucked loads at one lap performance, Sykes best lap was on worn race rubber, id bet come race day the suzukis are solid top ten but wont be able to last at race pace.

 

I haven't seen anything except the times so don't know what suzuki's long run times are, would be interesting to see. Still would prefer the suzukis to win instead of the kawa's and api's if honda don't

 

Long run pace from Sykes was simply astonishing. Haslam was top 4 on race pace too, so I expect to see the Soozis & Hondas fighting.
