What a strange race 1 !

[acting_strange]

Quite exciting in many ways tho....

[acting_strange]

Been cancelled...I hope some poor sod hasn't been killed due to some extremly stupid rule changes....

[rennie]

It looks that way to me!

RIP Antonelli

R.I.P Andrea Antonelli who died today whilst racing in the Superbike championships in Moscow. Thoughts are with his friends and family. I watched the race and having seen the crash I was expecting bad news. A sad day. :'(

heard the news while at BSB brands hatch sad day indeed

race control at bsb would never let the race go ahead

very sad day, but i dont think the rules are that bad tbh, its up to the team and the rider to make a decision, i saw race 1 and the main problem was that the track didnt have the same conditions all the way round, but at the end of the day the rider is in control of the bike, i know its racing and you need to go faster than the one in front but you also have to make sure you can stay on the bike.

lets see what happens with this ruling.

thoughts go out to the family and friends

Just curious what rules were changed?

This was the super sport race not the sbk flag to flag rule.

Supersport don't use slicks.
