probably a very good choice ... the twisty circuit suits teh 2 stroke .. maybe the WCM Yamaha can do better ... if they appear ..

i just got done arguing with some of the folks over at motorcyclenews.com about the KR3 and 2strokes in general. all they have to say is 2strokes are dead, gone, buried, an evolutionary dead end, 4strokes are far superior etc etc. i mentioned that actually 4strokes were the evolutionary dead end, because the manufacturers finally came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no way to improve a 500cc 4stroke to compete with a 500cc 2stroke, that legislation - NOT ENGINEERING - was finally the only way to make the 4strokes competitive.

Even JMc virtually admitted in his post QP2 interview that he has no chance in the race, wet or dry. But he does ride the wheels off the thing in qualifying ... |

Great to see McWilliams on the front row. What a performance, and oh-so close to pole.

I disagree. In wet qualifying at Le Mans, McWilliams was the fastest and Aoki third. The KR3 has always done well in the wet- v.d. Goorbergh was fastest in the wet warmup at Assen in 2001.
