2009 World Superbike Round 4 - Assen (Race Spoilers)

[Spidey]

Race 1 was make the beast with two backsing awesome.     Spies and Haslem are nuts.  Totally nuts.  And after the race they were both like "yeah, that was fun close racing."  Close?!?  I think they ended up wearing each other's underwear.  That's more than just close. 

Spies is a monster.   With two laps left in Race 1, I just keeping thinking about Road Atlanta last year.   I was so upset when he went down in Race 2.  I shut off the TV.  'course, I turned it back on about 10 mins later and kept watching.   

So far this year, Haga is putting on a Rossi-like clinic -- doesn't always win, but always podiums and is starting to just run away with the points.  He's been ungodly consistent.  It's scary.  Can he get on the podum in every race this year?  Can he go all year without a DNF?  I'm pretty sure the answer to both is no, but at some point, we gotta start asking those questions.  I gotta admit though, I cheer for Ben over Nori.  And now, I cheer for people to beat Nori just so that the points get closer between them.  He looks so much better on that Duc.  He still slides it around, but nowhere near like he used to. 

I've also become a Haslem fan.  He's great.  And I like his girl's boobies.   

Fabrizio, Fabrizio, Fabrizio . . . . <sigh>

Damn, that race 1...  Shouting at the screen the whole time. Spies... just make the beast with two backsing nuts. The move he put on Haslam was just well... damn...


I am extremely surprised that Haslam was able to perform so well while dragging the mouths of the Eurosport commentators on his dick the whole way. It was cute the first 5 minutes, by the end of the second race I was about ready to chuck something at my computer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that thought.  That was embarrassing.

That's a great video, Derb.  No wonder he looked like he'd had the wind knocked out of him.  He landed flat on his back.

just occurred to me what a convenient crash that was for the corner workers.  =)
i like how when he hears the pack coming back around he has to stand up and look..

that still sucks a lot.  

[Triple J]

That sucks...looks like he just barely caught the grass.

Anyone know if he's OK? He looked pretty banged up...for good reason!

it could've only been more convenient if the bike had landed on the trailer.

That was a wicked crash, I didn't realize how fast they were going when it happened.

You've got to give them a break, Leon Haslam comes from the equivalent of bike racing royalty in the UK and his family is well regarded and loved. James Whitham is close friends with Ron. This combined with him being on a minor privateer bike running 3rd in the championship makes the comments understandable.

It's not as bad as the Ben Spies & World Superbike show on speed.

Go Leon!!

Funniest quote on the page:

After carding a sixth place in Race 1 and getting on the box in third for Race 2, Jakub Smrz has decided he is too fast for vowels.
