 Good to see MV Agusta win in Supersport. The new R6 looks pretty strong.

Johnny Rea is still his usual studly self in Superbike.
Ducati looks to be a real threat this year.

Even with the Race 2 starting grid, Rae and Davies don't seem to be struggling.  Sykes can't seem to make good on it.  WSS race was great!

 Wow crazy get off by Eugene Laverty. Gotta be scary to bail off your bike at a buck fifty coming into a corner with no brakes! 

 RIP Nicky. 
You were something special.

 Wow! Crazy last lap crashes in Misano in race 1.
