HANNspree WSBK South Africa
June 2, 2009 | Category: General Photography, Mumblings
As reported earlier, I covered the whole SA WSBK weekend from 15-17 May 2009 @ Kyalami GP circuit.
I was once again amazed at the speeds and laptimes these guys achieved. To give you an idea, the fastest lap on Superpole 3 was by Ben Spies on his no 19 Yamaha YZF R1 at a staggering 1′37.288 followed by Michel Fabrizio on his Ducati 1098R second only by 1/1000th of a second with a time of 1′37.289. South Africa’s own Shez Morais,qualified 11th place, 3rd row with a qualifying time of 1′38.013 in superpole 2, where he missed superpole 3 by 3 spots - well done to “The Shez Show” for qualifying his no 132 Factory Kawasaki ZX 10R in front of big names like Xaus, Kagayama and Kiyonari!
Ben Spies took Superpole in all 6 events this year, but he was not to win a race @ kyalami this time round, Nori made sure of that. With Noriyuki Haga taking a double win @ Kyalami, the rest of the podium was made up of Fabrizio and Spies for Race 1 and Fabrizio and Rea for Race 2.
