WSBK Valencia (SPOILERS)!

Whata first race, Xaus all the way!

fantastic race to bad eurosport isn't broadcasting the 2nd race live what happend to max tho, he seemed to have a bit of a problem with the cornerspeed

Valencia is dull

better ride from max in race 2,
this is hard work trying to keep track flicking the tv from wsb and bsb.

Race 1 Results

Race 2 Results

i prefered the second race but it did seem to drag on a while, the last few laps were good!

i love Xaus's overtaking techniques!

Xaus really was great this weekend, and its so nice to see him back at the front where he belongs passing in places that are less conventional. The second race was certainly more exciting than the first because it got closer at the end rather than more spread out and it was dryer. Lanzi looked better this weekend so lets hope we get more of that, and i was impressed with Biaggis second effort.

It was very admirable of Bayliss to be back so soon from his injuries and to perform so well, but he still made too many mistakes and he needs to be grabbing big points more urgantly if he wants to be champion again this year.

JT did very well in race two, but i think gifted a bit by Haga making an error as it was so hard to get past people there. The yamaha looks better now so i look foreward to seeing Haga in the title chase (I hope he stays consistent). Major disapointment from Corser, his second race was not acceptable considering the bike was obviously up to it and he is supposed to get on well with the track.

That's racing mate!

1st race got to processional but was good to see xaus win 1. 2nd race was much better particularly the last couple. edge of the seat stuff they were! i think haga should be here in gps he's by far the best japanese racer out there imo. i don't think he got a fair shake back in 01 & 02 then that aprillia lump in 03.

And who said Ducati needs another 200cc?
This should really help their case.
A win, an extremely fast pole.
Two podiums.

yea, those 200 cc are going to be needed.....

The idea is that they get more cc's but tune their engines less (the same as the 4 cylinder bikes), this should make them the same speed and price. I am not convinced though

Absolute cracking race 2!!!

Good on JT, that was awesome last lap stuff and a great ride by Max to close the gap at the end and then get 2nd.....marvellous! Bet Haga was kicking himself though.

Race one was wicked mid race, Xaus was really on form (obviously!) and it was a good win for him, especially not being on a works bike.

yeah great races!..WSS and WSBK was killer!...

How good does it look for Sofuoglu right now, he is consistently riding like a total pro and his contenders can't even stay on their bikes and usually seem to be racing to the hospital more than the chequered flag
