What's up with the factory BMWs and the Castrol Honda?? ???
Not much interest in this thread. ;D

Decent races. Bummer Melandri's foot slipped off the peg in the second one...could have been an exciting finish.
damn that's a nice track.
Someone needs to duct tape Smrz to his bike.
Biaggi looks like he's gotten most of his beginning of the season jitters out of the way. But he's in trouble if he doesn't double (or get close) at Brno.
I wish I could have seen Checa's crash in race 1....that was some serious rash on the ass of his leathers....
and it looks like the Kawi's are really starting to come around...that and the Italian BMW under Badovini....sheesh...
shame about Corser and the broken arm though...
Yep, I'm liking the Kawis progress. Good for the mix. [thumbsup] Wonder what the BMW factory thinks about Badovini and his Italian team? I'm kinda liking that too. ;D

I wonder 1 thing...what if the Italian team pulled the BMW computer package out and put in a Marelli package like everyone else is using on the grid, what the difference in the results of that machine would be like?!?!!?
Ahhh... they probably pulled the whole factory package and installed a bank of old Amal Concentric carbs! [laugh]
