Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours

Obviously Camier is no Simoncelli.Probably not a true comparison since Simoncelli was running on his home track, but. I noticed on the analysis page of WSB that the Yamaha has found some speed,registering the fastest trap speed and BMW 2nd fastest. Not a high top end track though, Bens Yamaha registered 180mph [290k]. Not enough room for the Aprilia to stretch its legs maybe,or Ben is just getting out of the last turn a bunch faster

I'm kind of incredulous about the Camier situation. I can't believe Yamaha couldn't scare up some money to put Camier on a 3rd Yamaha Italia in hopes that he might be able to assist Spies.

Maybe they should bring in Hayes for Portimao. He's ridden there before.
 
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME! Ladies & gentz, we hav a situation wher its up to Haga or Spies to win this thing! Tied (basically) going into penultimate round! Oh lord, what spectator dreams r made of, eh?

One word of caution, competitors be aggressively smart, mechanics be detailed & sound, dont .... up and dont do anything stupid. If wer lucky, whoever wins the last race in Portugal will win the title!

Oh Jesus!

Spies and i are thinking alike. This statement im sure was meant to send more than 1 statement.

It's good Johnny's up there again. I might buy him some dinner tonight to get him to help me out!"

Letting Johnny know that he is happy to have some help and a subliminal message that if you have to take someone out,dont make it me,im your buddy.

Class act in deed. Also, perhaps it a mesg to Fab. No team orders. Dont let Haga win it if Fab can go for the win. Haha. Thats a tuff call.

I know ther is a good argument to let the champ earn it yet also b a good teammate. What do u guys think should b the role of Fabrizio?

1000% RESPECT. Haga really does set an amazing example of true sportsmanship. As for Spies, he's probably the coolest thing that ever hit WSBK. Good luck to both.

This picture says a thousand words.

There is no hate or envy in both there eyes. Only true sportsmanship and great respect for each other.

God bless them both and give them all the success they truely deserve.

lol yup I thought it was weird for that to be meant seriously
<
ok

Wow, I just saw Spies pole lack.

Total commitment and pure determination. I've never seen him ride harder.

In other news, Ducati are going to hire a sniper to put Fabrizio out of Ducati's misery. He demoted Haga to the second row at the last second.

That guy has got issues.

Haga mentioned that he took it easy on the final lap cause he would rather be in fifth right behind Spies on the starting grid rather than the far end on the first row.

I think when he has been eleminated, or to the point where it would take a miracle for him to win it himself,he should be Haga's wing man. Lets say in the first race tomorrow,Haga and Spies take each other out and Fabrizio wins. At that point,he has to keep pushing to keep the dream alive.If he loses points this weekend,he needs to turn into the good teammate.
