Anybody else just not a huge fan of the new Superpole system? I mean, I liked it at first, but now that the novelty has worn off, it just seems a bit... Contrived. I liked it much more when riders simply went out and rode as fast as they possibly could. At least then you didn't have to wonder whether somebody qualified further down because they put the wrong tire in for the second session or some such crap.

Also, I heard that BSB this year is using the finishing results of Race 1 as the qualifying grid for Race 2. I'm a fan of that idea!

so if u qualify on pole for race 1 and dnf, you would start at the back of the pack in race 2?? sounds like a bad idea to me..

Makes for good racing, though.

im pretty happy with the way its set up. weed out the garbage riders. its no different then F1 qualy and it works great for them too.

Good to see Haga take a win. Rea had a good day with a win and a second place.
