My fellow race fans, I could NOT possibly be enjoying WSBK any more than I am. Until next race of course Your thoughts gentlemen?
Our thoughts on the race, or your avatar? It's like a bad car crash, I just can't look away...... but it hurts my eyes....
Spoiler The last lap of race one had me on the seat of my couch and screaming like a wild man, not to mention the elbow racing between Spies & Haslam, it's really hard for me to root against Haga but I've followed Spies for a long time. Race two was a little boring to me since my boy went down, I know these tracks are new to Spies but if anybody would have tried to bet me at the beginning of the year that Spies would have crashed more than Haga I would have took that bet in a second, .Who would have thought Haga would turn into Mr Consistency this year...
Ahhh my plan is working, the avatar is having the desired effect, Igor Yes R.W. I was yelling wwwooooooooooohooooooooo at the TV in race one.. What a great season its been so far.
Yes, my tv got screamed at also in race 1, last lap. Great finish. Race 2 wasn't as exciting obviously and I fell asleep during the MotoGP race.
Well you weren't the only one jumping off the couch in race one. I was 3 feet from my TV watching those last 2 or 3 laps of race one. I'm not sure what happened to Spies in race 2 exactly, but from the pieces of the replay it looks like he lost the front again at the end of a front stretch...just like his last WSBK crash. I'm sure he is still working to get used the Yamaha, Pirellis, and the WSBK tracks....it's only a matter of time for him to get consistent again, but he will now need Haga to have a slip up or two to catch him. Awesome races though. Very fun to watch. The MotoGP race today was also pretty exciting... I loved the Rossi, Lorenzo passes and then Rossi holding off Pedrosa.
For those of you who didn't get a chance to watch race one from Assen, check out this five minute video on the last three laps, some seriously great racing going on here... WSBK 2009 Assen Video
ah yes great racing GO HAGA wait untill Max gets that bike set up as well as the BMW it will only get better as the season goes on.
