The best racing on 2 wheels returns this weekend. (Love u jrock )

Think Haslam has something to prove with Spies 99% confirmed to the team for 2013 and Melandri remaining and 5 wins for BMW?

Isn't Noyes racing in WSS this weekend as well?

Yes, I believe so.

Good to have you breathe life into these discussions again.

Wet conditions with a lot of crashes.

I thought Sylvan was done with that Duc team? - What happened?

Look at that Zuk

He's on the Pata Duc.

Yes, good to see Guintoli back on the bike, and that color scheme suits him much better then that yellow f'in-turd.

I thought Camier was going to get that pole, would have been a nice b-day present for himself. Hopkins was also up on the sharp-end in the dry and managed to actually appear on TV for once this year. Seems like the Fixi team is finally getting somewhere.

And I'm starting to dislike Melandri the last few months. He's pulling the typical Italian diva shit (seriously, a wall in the BMW garage now?); might need Ron Haslam to slap him upside the head.

Let Melandri enjoy it this season because Spies is going to kick his ass and be banging his 7 ft. tall ol lady in 2013.

AKA Vale and Yami? - I like it - Fuck Haslim - Never liked "The Poecket Rocket" and LOVE Melandri as he leaves it all out on the track and gives it 100% every time he throws a leg over - I love his new found success and love what he brings to the sport

like to see davies get a full weekend without technical problems and bad luck. havent seen this guys potential yet. guys a stud

You know it's a crazy weekend when Baz almost doubles.

That first race could possibly be one of the best races I have seen ever in WSB. That even includes the Edwards/Bayliss battle for the Championship years ago.

Baz has the Gods of the the Red Flags to thank (as does Checha, Smrz, etc etc) - I love how Steve Martin barely finishes saying "its one thing to follow, its another to lead, lets see what he can do" and less than 2 seconds of air time and Baz is on his Azz

I dig how Baz calls Smrz 'Koo-bah"

Dorna wishes GP was as good as WSBK.

Those two Duc's were impressive the second race.

Exactly. GP's have nothing on WSBK. I so wish I was going to Moscow for the WSBK race than Indy.

He said Ron Haslim.

Cool vid - Damn Leon looks like Ron

Monza is on my bucket list.

Someone please send me a link so i can watch this race.

Steve - that is a HUGE statement. You been drinking again?

F1 race at Spa for me.

Hallowed Ground right there man, Hallowd Ground

Steve be tellin the truth on that race-must see.

Race 1 was a cluster with all the changes in conditions. Not sure I've ever seen a finish quite like that. If the rain had come earlier Smrz and Guintoli might have been luckier if their tire choices.

Race 2? jeez.

Here ya go

especially the old 8 mile track.

eau rouge flat out.....takes balls.

Thanks Steve.
