RACE STUFF THREAD

And now for something completely different:

Sooo…… WTF with BeIn's coverage of WSBK at Phillip Island last night?  I got Race 2 only with both Race 1 and Race 2 scheduled to air this Thursday 

Guess I shouldn't complain - at least the races are televised.

Race 1 was ran on Saturday (Friday night Dallas time).  They showed it live Friday night at 9:30 PM.  They showed WSS and WSBK Race 2 last night at 9PM.

Rats!  Thanks for clearing that up.

FWIW the 1st WSS race is up on You Tube. Maybe someone will post WSBK as well.

Crazy races today....especially MotoGP.  Glad to see Eugene do so well!

[Cher]

Phew!  MotoGP… Just when you think you've got it all sorted out.

What a shit show that turned into for Ducati.

Interesting Race 2 from Sepang in WSBK.  Excellent racing in the rain.  Fun times….?!

Well, if there was ever any doubt as to why the factory Ducati GP team kept Dovizioso and let Iannone go, look no further than today's race from Catalunya

It is rather a good thing that Crazy Joe has a ride for next year, otherwise.................

I've not looked yet to see if he has an "explanation" for what happened, I just know at this point he has lost any benefit of the doubt. When Pedro torpedoed Dovi in similar fashion we all accepted that Pedro had a problem or simply made a mistake, when Crazy Joe did it we all think, "Shit man, get your act together!" and rightfully so.

How shocked were you when MM didn't let Vale go after losing the front in the chicane AFTER finding out that Lorenzo was out?

Yeah, that was some crazy shit towards the end.  Did you see the Ducati team boss get right in Iannone's face once he got back to the garage?  Very brief exchange… Oh to be a fly on the wall     I wonder if Pirro can step in for the remainder of the season? 

Good race for sure
