Double-Double

That must be making spies sting.

I don't think anyone can say this time that the win was stolen from Spies.

Maybe race 2, when his motor blew up.

Byrne.  Last year's BSB champion, I think.

I dunno if you remember that youtube vid from TOB from while back of some brits doing triple digit wheelies while lanesplitting?  They were on a Suzuki TL, a Duc (996?) and something else.  They crashed two of the bikes and spent the entire 30 min vid calling everyone they encountered a dumb, slow mothermake the beast with two backser and generally leaving a trail of bodies throughout western Europe?  That was Shakey.   Grin 

I loved that vid...especially the part where he talks about the TL's handling and "that old running wide thing again..."  That was classic stuff.

shift lever broke:

http://www.crash.net/World+Superbikes/News/146952/1/spies_we_cant_give_away_points_like_this.html

“We made some major changes to the set-up for race two, and I had a completely different motorcycle,” he revealed, “I figured that, if it worked, I might have a better shot at running with the Ducatis and, if it didn't, I was still confident I could put it on the podium. However, I think we actually found something with the changes.

"Then, no sooner had I gotten into the lead when I went into a turn and started hitting my normal downshifts and the shift lever broke. By the time they would have fixed it and got me back out on the track, there would have been no chance to ride back up into the points, so I got off the bike and watched the rest of the race from pit-lane.”

Considering it's Spies rookie year the sky is the limit for that guy. It's a long season and the team has a lot to learn. I'm sure going forward they know what they can do and will get it all sorted out.

It's nice to see the Ducs up front. I was noticing on the fairing it actually says 1198 but on the grid they show they are 1098's. Are they still 1098's or are they using 1198's now?

the 1098R was/is 1198cc.

that said, ducati refers to the 1198 in all their race press, so i assume that it's just a broadcast graphic that hasn't been updated (yet).

I hope those tears don't have anything to do with Laconi?

OK. You had me worried there...I went Googling for Laconi's condition. Seems he's improved a bit.
