Everyone's back in action this weekend at a hot and humid VIR. Once again, @OnTheThrottleTV dominated the Twitter airwaves so I will be omitting the bulk of Dave's updates from the report and suggest that you read them separately instead. Sorry Dave.

@23race American Superbike practice 1 at VIR about to go ontrack. Overcast and gray skies. Muggy. Track is fully dry now thou. #FF

@chazdavies I think it may have been easier 2 get out of Colditz than get into VIR this a.m. 5 pass checks before even in the paddock :-0. Achtung!!

@jp43 Sitting in infield @ VIR watching superbike practice. bit of a gloomy gray day here.

@CSpeedPhoto Jumbotrons are playing race footage from 08. Ah the good ol days...

@MsXXFAST I am sweaty, sticky, hot and just nasty. And I dont mean that in a good way!

@MsXXFAST Standing here holding the bike up because we forgot the rear stand in the pit LOL

@OnTheThrottleTV It should be noted that Cardenas fracture did break the skin on the top of his hand and he has a hole there.

@OnTheThrottleTV He likely pushed the bone back in when he initially grabbed it at the end of the crash, which we have on tape... duh.

@OnTheThrottleTV He qualified 13th with no pain meds; zip, zero, nadda. Muchos Huevos! That's "big eggs" for you gringos out there.
