Mugello GP very wet

[feejer222]

Just watching the Saturday morning practice from Mugello in Italy. Torrential rain, rivers across the track. They are all out practicing but very carefully. Standing water on the fastest straight of the season.

Echo's of Silverstone world superbikes last week.

Thanks for the update. Seems to be an epidemic of that lately. Did the commentators say anything about Hayden's injury from the last wet race?

To be honest I wasnt listening to the commentary as there was not much of relevance happening. They have a timed hour to do a fast lap but because of the conditions they were just riding round slow to improve track knowledge.

You could have a dig around HERE

Weather dry for race day:

Both 125 and 250 races incredible to watch. Lap 6 of the 125's saw the leading 9 bikes cross the line within 9/10's of a second. The finish saw 4 bikes cross the line within 2/100's of a second. Close stuff even by 125 standards.

The end of the 250 race just as exciting.

Test Pilot, I suggest you don't post results unless you start a new topic and mark it **SPOILER** There are people who view this who don't get the races televised until mid-week.

No worries about me giving away results Here is Aussie we are fortunate to get the races live (on pay TV) and I know how annoying it is to have someone give away the results of any sporting event before you get to watch it. The main race has just finished - and not a clue as to who won or the championship positions (except to say that last years champion is still struggling)
