Biaggi for the double win to close out his championship season!!!

4!!! c'mon jumk.... theres at least 6 or 7.

What's up with all of Ducati's being at the front, I thought the rules were biased against them



Wouldn't surprise me to see Haslam take it easy this weekend, he has nothing worth risking himself for, especially considering he is testing the BMW right after the race apparently.

I've just seen the first interview i've seen with cal for a year or so, and i've realized i really don't like him. i wonder if he might have that same thing Foggy had where he's an arsehole but he's a good rider

The difference Foggy could because Foggy had actual titles.

Yea Cal only has his 1 'little' title so far so he doesn't command quite the same respect

With Toseland not even being mentioned in some silly season lists for a seat next year, you would thing he would have something to ride for this weekend. Or maybe he knows he has a seat and doesnt give a .... that his teammate is sitting on the pole, and that his closest competition for a spot in the final standings is sitting second on the grid.

As much as you want to convince somebody that he is "pathetic" he has two world titles to his name, on two different brands. Sure he hasn't had a stellar season but certainly NOT pathetic (look up the word). Ebbs and Flows dude. Nobody is on tap all the time. BTW, poles mean .....

Jum its pleases me to hear you sticking up for JT like this. People are very hard on JT, especially at the moment when he's having a rough time continuing his GP nightmare in SBK. I think its important not to overlook his achievements, like you said he's got 2 world championships riding different brands and engine configurations. Look at some of the other names of double world superbike champions and they are all very respectable riders, GP didn't work out for James but i think we'd all agree he did the right thing giving it his best shot, and he worked hard. As far as the future goes, we all know what he is capable of and i still think that potential could be unlocked and we could see JT winning races again.

Pathetic= . Miserably inadequate.



That doesnt describe Toseland this year. ? The fact that he has 2 world titles is what makes his performance this year pathetic. If he was a career mid pack rider, it wouldnt matter that he finishes 8th this year, except that he IS on a better bike than that. He was the only rider in the field that has a WSBK title, its not like he was going up against Foggy, Bayliss, and Spies. For a 2 time champ of this series, he has had a miserably inadequate year. Yamaha thinks so also.

I never miss a SBK race! I think there are plenty here who are interested but frankly without Speez, the Texas fanboys have all bailed from the series and interest on the forum seems to be fading a bit.

Interesting that you say that because I have the same reaction to him. There's something about him that I don't care for however I've got to admit that he's given me no reason to dislike him...........but I see to anyway.



What is it?

Good pair of races today, I was hoping Cal would do the double, but Max deserved the win. Lots of hard battles throughout both races.



What happened to Toseland in race 1? Did the bike and nearly himself clear the barrier?



And anyone know when they are testing, is it monday and tuesday?

Fagbashio.
