Portimao WSBK/WSS (spoilers...)

« on: November 01, 2008, 02:39:15 PM »

so apparently they got the track done in time to actually have the race.. and in time for Bayliss for win his final superpole

guess that early move for Rea wasn't such a bad idea, either.

I really liked that circuit. Lots of lines available, and some undulating elevation changes make it better than a lot of the new tracks that have been built recently.

I agree. Nice looking track. Entertaining racing.
Good to see Baylis "KICK ASS" in his final races. waytogo

.
make the beast with two backs, cant believe Fabrizio taking out Biaggi again. Poor Rueben, the man gives her 100%. Balls to the walls style.

That's really got to put a crimp in his golf game Wink

In other news, it's funny that Ducati use a regular steering head nut on their race bikes but stick us poor saps with that ridiculous thing that needs a special tool to remove!! Angry
