WSB...

 

...starts this weekend, no comments?

Finally... finally... Haga?

 


Haga's going to find yet another way to come second. IMHO.

Crutchlow is a crazy man.

I think this is the year that the old guard of Haga, Toseland,
Vermeulen, Corser, Checa, Biaggi discover they've got a real fight on
their hands. Haslam, Crutchlow and Rea have the attitude and machinery
to push them about.

I think Superpole was a reflection partly of the numerous crashes and
partly of some bad choices of when to use the 2 qualifiers. But then
Crutchlow pulls a 3rd place out of a race tyre as he'd already used both
Qs.

I think Camier is faster than 16th and should make it into the top 10
tomorrow. And Byrne's big highside may have left the team without a
competitive bike and Shakey, shaken. If the team can find the money and
Ducati supply the bikes, then Checa and Shakey will end up doing what
Shakey did last year, good but not startling rides just out of TV shot.
I don't see them really able to be up with the top 5 or 6 through the
year.

Bring it on.

Gee, and I would have thought that happened last year, when they got
their collective asses handed to them by Spies. I guess that horribly
negative experience has been wiped from the ol' memory banks, eh?

Max and Leon 1-2 in the warmup, and Shakey down in 12th...

Got round to watching the races last night.

One shouldn't draw conclusions from a single race, but it looks like
Suzuki are definitely back in the game, and have two strong riders
with Haslam and Guintoli.

Three crashes from the two returning MotoGP boys (2 from Vermuelen on
the Kawasaki & 1 from Toseland on the Yamaha) was not an impressive
start from them.

And Toseland's performance on the Yamaha gives and indication as to
just how good Spies was last year, imo.
