The broadcasters on British Eurosport commented how knowledgeable the US crowd was...

I think they were surprised.

considering they openly made fun of the names of the corners at Miller during wsbk, i bet they are surprised.

weird experience flying in here yesterday and having the plane be seemingly filled with GP fans.  same with the hotel, much moreso.  the Rizla team is in my hotel, as well as a 125 team, a bunch of journalists, etc..  every person in the bar last night was talking bikes and ignoring the football on tv.. lol

The new guy Lorentho did really well!  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin

Kind of a bummer that two of the three races on national tv were wet.  Not the best show of waht its all about.

Fun race nonetheless.

Go Lorentho! applause

Heh, the guy was sure exercising his Castillian Spanish pronunciation.

What happened to #52?

That WAS a great race.  The conditions they were racing in were incredible.  I really thought Spies coulda taken Stoner and Dovi give a few more laps, but I was still incredibly happy with the results all across the board.

I'm REALLY hoping that this opens the eyes of some GP execs and gets Spies his damn ride for next year.

BTW, the 250 race was cancelled due to force majeure.

Nicky showing new teammate Stoner how it's done.  Rossi on his tail providing a lot of pressure and the Kentucky Kid was cool as ice.  No Rossi mind-make the beast with two backs for Hayden.  Too bad it dried up for a bit and ate up his Michelins.

Rossi is still the man.  Loved watching him and Nicky run away with it.

Good to see Lorenzo back up front.  Glad to see Spies making a run for Stoner too.  Good race. 

Best of all Pedrobot and his 'stones were nowhere to be seen.
