What an entertaining Race 2. Awesome. The 8 bike freight train at the start was brilliant aswell

Even though the field isn't that big, the racing has once again been pukka.
When I first saw the layout of Valencia many years ago, I hated it, but I've been proven wrong on so many occassion. Especially the (last) bend over the hill with the sideways action of both Nori and James was brilliant yesterday. |

Don't ask me.
Having just checked the results table again (I tend to forget who finished where in the lower order), I've got a few questions: what is happening to Yuki? The man has had some poor luck and some nasty crashes but something tells me even this may not be enough of an excuse to save his ride in the future. His form just hasn't been what I expected since he has been on the world even before his crashes. He needs another Brno weekend to lift him up. I certainly hopes he gets it.
What happened to Corser in race 2? Why was Karl's weekend such a mess compared to Joshs'? I know he crashed in race 1 but what happened to him in race 2. Were Joshs' results due to him ringing the bike's neck or conditions suiting him or is the bike getting better? Combination of all three? |

Can't say anything for sure about Karl, but Josh was ringing the thing's neck. I think in race one he tried to run with the factory guys and melted his tyres and started to go backwards.
Josh's results were all down to the conditions, alas. He belives the bike is getting better, but not good enough. Considering that bike looks nothing like any of the other Hondas that are racing, I think they're doing great. In fact, it looks so old it looks like it's a RC51 with a fireblade sticker on the side. ![]() |

The un-amputated piece of Bayliss did OK.
He is a master. |
