Some random observations I made during race 1:
* The Honda Fireblade does not need coolant. Without it, the pistons
will not seize.
* Did the marshals go inside to get warm? It looks like blue flags
were not used.
Lapped riders, like Xaus, were taken by complete surprise, and were
holding up
the leaders.
* Races in the rain really show experience levels. Bayliss rode like a
robot, not
making mistakes. While his pursuers had occasional slips, Troy
looked rocksolid.
He made it look easy, being in full control of the bike.
* Nori Haga's lean angle is not affected by rain. He's the only rider
to push
his bike flat. All the others kept theirs much more upright.
* I was pleasantly surprised that Eurosport seems to have dropped in-
race
commercials.
* JT has fighting spirit.

Must be a Aussie thing, Westy is near +35s, if the race went long
enough he could lap the field.....
Why has this guy not have a factory ride, [They WILL sit up and take
notice after this display, have no fear] & only 2nd time on a SS bike,
and made them all look like spastics
Not bad from a country that is in major drought...........

Has he abandoned 250 GP or is he running parallel?
BTW, what's with Eurosport? Every time I try to go to
www.eurosport.com I end up at yahoo!

Not sure either but sure is good to see him (West) get a win in any
International class, lets hope he finally lands a ride with a team
that can give him a race winning bike and we finally see just how
talented he really is.
