Ten places and only about a second and half spread. Wow! Everyone in that group will be a contender for a win or a podium. I think its going to be a bump and grind kind of race and as is said in NASCAR "you've got to first finish to finish first. Lets hope tomorrows 2nd qualifying stays similar. EBR's time has come! And lets not forget Rob & Shawn; great job guys. Stay safe all & kick butt. |

If folks are not smiling in the Suzuki factory, how must they be feeling at the BMW, Kawasaki and KTM shops? Go, Geoff and Danny! |

What a day! Congrats Danny, Geoff and Shawn! Those EBR 1190RS's sound sooooo good out there. The two bikes in the merchandise booth looked really great also. One in silver and the other in a muted Red White, and Blue. Jim (Message edited by jima4media on May 05, 2012) |

Fantastic. Just realised that we get a late and heavily edited version of the Speed coverage over here (UK)....though not until Thursday! I just caught the end of the Road Atlanta races last week - will set the timer to record the Infineon races. Congratulations to everyone involved. |

Here's the schedule for Speed's broadcast times for the races this weekend at Infineon. All Times are Eastern. May 5 @ 8:00 PM Daytona Sport Bike Race 1 May 5 @ 9:00 PM Superbike Race 1 May 6 @ 11:00 PM Daytona Sport Bike Race 2 May 7 @ 12:00 AM Superbike Race 2 I know there was some confusion about the broadcast times for Atlanta, so I figured I'd put these up now so people can set their recorders. I took this information from the AMA Pro Racing site. I hope EBR has a great bit of luck for a change. Though seeing Danny and Geoff on the front row (as of now) is very heartening. |
