    Superb 1st race. Marred somewhat by Haga sliding off.

    Usual chaos in WSS at Brands. Rea came good again, but Chris Jones ended
    up lying on the track unconscious after a vicious high side in
    Clearways. He apparently woke up in the helicopter so lets hope he's ok.

    The second race had its moments but fell a bit flat as various people's
    tyre choices didn't work. Biaggi did what is probably the fastest bit of
    grass tracking we've seen for a while on the exit of Graham Hill.

    And Kiyo is having a great time. Wins Suzuka last weekend and then gets
    the double this weekend. I have this vague memory of somebody who should
    remain nameless being pretty harsh on him earlier in the year as a
    typical example of a BSB refugee who was doing nothing in WSB. Time to
    think again?

    Both WSB and BSB are going to a "devil take the hindmost" final
    qualifying to replace Superpole. Really not sure if that's a good thing
    or not.

    Latest news is not good. He's in a neuro unit in an artificial coma
    after receiving severe head trauma.

    It was a low side but he may have been hit by a following rider. Though
    it didn't take anyone else down.

    I've never liked Superpole, so I think it's good. Getting rid of the
    slower riders makes it less likely that the fast riders will have a
    hot lap screwed up.

    Cheers,

    I wonder how they're going to handle tyres. 3 sets of qualifiers? or at
    least 3 sets of softs?
