WSBK Qatar Race 1&2

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (surendhar @ Mar 13 2009, 07:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Splendid lap by Spies 1.58.782 in the first session

Edit: Rea, Haslam and Max neukrischner left out....

I saw that.That will make things much easier at the front for Ben. Its that kind of inconsistency that seperates the riders that will compete for championships and ones that dont. All 3 of those guys were expected to be up front this weekend and may very well end up with decent finishes but without a red flag they have virtually no chance to win.If Ben stays on 2 wheels this weekend,he will come out in 2nd place in points,maybe 1st.

Spies does a 57.280

I thin he is being smart in using his Q tires.
 
i want to know wy we here in the states cannot watch practice or qualifying? speed does not show any of it anytime so we should be allowed to watch that at least... this seems a bit dornaesqe to me

For some reason, the 80's song from Loverboy [The kid is hot tonight] keeps popping into my head.

He lost the front at turn 2, nothing too spectacular.

Good - no injury... Thanks Tom.

He looked fine, picked the bike up and rode again that session.
 
I'm annoyed I forgot to put Superpole in the Sky+ box.

I know this is only the second round, but I'm impressed by Spies. New to the tracks, new R1 to the series and he's getting it done.
