The double at Philip Island...fantastic first time ever win at the Daytona 200...this season is starting out nicely for the brand. waytogo

MotoGP is still a question mark, but even with a bad shoulder, Rossi should get a podium at Qatar.

There are some guys riding Hondas that may have a say in that. Grin Should be interesting... but not as much as WSBK. waytogo

AMA Pro Racing New Release from an hour ago:

Quote
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (March 21, 2011) - AMA Pro Racing announced today that penalties and an accompanying fine have been assessed against Josh Herrin and Graves Motorsports, respectively, as the result of actions during the March 12 Daytona 200, specifically those related to the rider's last-lap approach to start/finish. As per the AMA Pro Road Racing 2011 Rule Book, rules A1.1, A2.1, A2.3.p, and A2.3.u, the details of the penalties and fine are as follows:
 
Rider penalty: One-event suspension, to be applied at Infineon Raceway Round 2, May 13-15
Rider penalty: Season-long probation, in effect through December 31, 2011, the violation of which shall result in further and more-serious penalties
Team penalty: $7,500 fine, the entire proceeds of which will be applied to the purchase of additional Airfence
 
Both rider and team were notified of the above details in advance of this release, and the penalties do not prevent them from taking part in the May 2-3 official AMA Pro test at Miller Motorsports Park.
 
AMA Pro Racing thanks all involved parties for their patience. A copy of the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing rulebook can be downloaded at http://amaproracing.com/assets/AMAPro-RR-2011-Rulebook.pdf.
 
--end--
Tough break all around! This probably would have been chalked up as a "racing incident" if Herrin had crashed along with Dane Westby and Taylor Knapp, after brushing Westby's brake lever. But he didn't, so he had a DNF handed to him in the form of a penalty. It's really a shame, since it doesn't give Westby or Knapp back their championship hopes. Sad

Yeah, that was a weird race all around for sure.  There were several riders that day to have been lucky to walk away from some very serious crashes.
