Hmmm Restart's gonna be interesting! Did I mention that Melandri's an .....?
 
Race One. Good go by Sykes to hang on. Checa nice run through the field, just not enough at the end. Biaggi rides smart (WOW!) and gives a few points to Sykes but takes a bunch from the ..... Melandri. McCormick - ya made my afternoon, kid! Very nice ride. stayed with the big boys and showed restraint and maturity. .... when Checa passed McCormick the conditions and bike position(s) were so similar to Assen when Checa took McCormick out and the lad broke his neck! Had my proverbial fingers crossed 'til Carlos got though! Rea - Didn't take himself, or anyone else out.
 
Race Two. Gutted for Sykes. Laverty off and ran away then held it, good on him. Rea - didn't take himself or anyone else out. Biaggi, gifted the championship. McCormick solid 9th. Goes to show what a bike prepped by a top team can do for any rider with motivation and skills.
 
dammit melandri you .........really wanted him to come out on top in the end. oh well...anyway now i have to wait 4 hours to watch these races because speed vision has there own agenda
 
....... melandri. 3 dnfs in 3 races, all his fault.

hope hes okay, heard something about a bruised kidney?not cool

get well soon marco





so its a 30.5 point lead for biaggi,means 11th place in race 1 magny cours will win him the title. can't see him not doing that.



gutted for sykes, he fought like a lion and i would have loved to see him challange max in france.



rea + haslam at ten kate next year?

hope those are 2 year contracts, 2013 will be a .... year for honda as have been the last 2.

heard something about the rc213v being available as a road bike and that honda intend to race it in wsbk?

anybody else heard about that?
 
Jeez Biaggi the last man standing, talk about staggering over the finish line. Brutal ending. I dont know if this championship would taste as sweet, so to speak. Still they all count.
 
Unkucky weekend for Chaz and Camier but particularly cruel for Sykesy. Great ride by Norge in race two under mounting pressure from Rea.



Disappointed for Melandri after the way he challenged Max this season and the way that he closed the gap. Everyone was having lowsides at the Nurburgring but that aggressive move this weekend has now cost him the title where perhaps in view of Germany he should have shown more restraint.
 
Looking good for me unless Max has a complete brain fade.

Had a little $20 on Biaggi @ 8/1 at the beginning of the year.

Not a lot but it's better than losing.

Congrats to McCormick, for me the ride of the weekend! ....... Checa tried to end his career like he did on Neuker. This Canadian kid has brass balls.



Congrats to Laverty on his well deserved win. I like this guy, however, dude, throwing out your leg and waving Biaggi past was totally lame in race one. Ok, I get team orders, and he is not in the title hunt, but did he have to put out a king kong size billboard to wave Biaggi past? How about just run a bit wide, and let him through and make it look inconspicuous? This looked bad to me. What the ...., this isn't doubles in tennis son. I hope Casey dosen





Melandri, well, gotta say, I told you so. What a complete moron. He tried to torpedo Biaggi like he did to Haslam, so I will say it again, I'm glad that ..... won't be getting this title. He didn't deserve it since the Donny round. He has consistently rode like a .... and now has the injury to show for it. .... him, all his last three DNFs have been his fault. And that is with the Falamini flamers along with Pirelli giving him every possible advantage to gift BMW a title WWF style. Oh, and his girlfriend, she isn't that hot.



Now completely opposite to Melandri we have Sykes. This totally suck balls! His mechanical reminded me of Hopkins mechanical at the penultimate round of last years BSB. .... .... man, these guys put it all on the line and their bikes take a giant .... on them. After Sykes win in race one, I was sure that the title would deservingly go to him as Biaggi has been a flake.



Biaggi, he has ridden well just barely, but has had his own DNFs that were stupid, not the least, last round. His bike is a rocket ship.



Haslam, took gamble and lost. Davies, well, can't say I didn't mention he rides over his head. Rea, well, he finished the races.
 
I guess I'm the only one that was hoping to see Max win another title. Speaking of hotties, Max's wife is a definite looker...better looking than Melandri's wife IMO.
