Worlds two most boring races
But WSS race as usual made up for it with multiple lead changes and a superb pack of riders fighting it out all race |

I knew you would say that Gom!
I am serious though, I really dont have any special interest coz of Brits! If course it's nice when they win, but Rea is Irish and I'm not so... I actually really like Pitt and Brookes, not too keen on Broc as he seems to be a chucker! Pitt for me was treated appallingly by Yamaha and Kawasaki and Brookes seems good fun! But the Superbike races were disappointing from Brno, bit roundy roundy! |

Race 1: Bayliss, Corser and Biaggi changing the lead quite a few times. Neukircher there as well. Fabrizio coming through to grab a podium in the last lap. Kiyonari showing good! Haga fighting to the front of the second group. Unfortunately Bayliss walking away with it 3 laps from the end.
Race 2: Bayliss, Corser and Biaggi fighting for the lead again. Haga, coming from behind. Fabrizio being brilliant again and grabbing a second in the last lap. What's not to like? |

Decent amount of action in WSBK, especially race 1, but a shame Bayliss had to further extend his championship lead. The Supersport race was awesome to watch, a shame Harms dropped out so near to the end though.

"Race 2:...Haga, coming from behind..."
You can say that again Gerben! Nori's lap progression from 12th on the grid - 12-29-22-19-16-15-11-10-10-9-8-8-7... What has happened to Nori's qualifying form recently? Obviously, he finds his motivation on race day but practice and qualifying hasn't gone well lately. Anyway, the championship is well and truly gone now. Where has Corser's recent form come from? PSG are having a very torrid season even by Kawasaki standards! What happened to Regis' resurgence at Misano (in practice at least with a new swing arm). I've noticed Badovini manages to outpace both Regis and Makoto. Any news on poor Garry McCoy? I did wonder why I didn't spot him in the supersport race. Too many questions! |

Supersport wise, Lascorz's strong start to the season seems to have run out of momentum. At one point I thought he was going to run away with it.
What was the technical problem that put a stop to Craig Jones' race and finally, how on earth does Chris Walker manage to drag results out of that thing he is riding? Fujiwara is probably wondering the same thing! |

He is, also remember that for me Harris is a much better WSS rider than WSBK rider.
He has won three British titles and surely it's better for him to be winning than having the luck he has having right now He is blindingly fast but suffers extreme bad luck aswell as crashing a bit, but in BSS he was unbeatable! |

[Off-Topic, but]
West has been too far behind Hopper (and now Hacking) to make me accept that it's all about the bike. I expected him to be more competitive after his form in the second half of 2007. |

As usual with West he flattered to deceive
I think its a problem with a lot of riders. They get a sniff of a ride and go real fast and then once they ahve the ride they relax and dont have the hunger anymore So many guys used to do this, Edwards at Laguna, Laconi always did it, the Japanese were the worst! Just not quick enough Westy, and to be beat by an old Brit on teh same bike, lol!! Go to WSS were you can at least not make yourself look daft, and take Melandri with you! |
