This weekend is going to rock.  Ben needs the double and Haga has Fabrizio to lend a helping hand.  As much as I believe in Ben, I think Haga finally eeks out a much deserved championship.  Either way, I can't wait for this weekend's racing!!!  Unfortunately then we have to deal with the sadness of no racing until next year.   

[zooom]

yes....it will be an exciting end to a great racing season and a sad beginning to a long winter of withdrawal...

...assuming nori doesn't do something silly 

[Speeddog]

Maybe Sykes can torpedo Haga to offset Fabrizio's 'favor'. 

[gm2]

it's not like tom needs to worry about keeping his ride

That's Rea's job.

My money is on Fabrizio taking out Haga under the Repsol teamwork philosophy.

that excuse only works when you still have a mathematical chance at the championship.

that excuse only works when you still have a mathematical chance at the championship.

Last time I checked a 10 point lead with two races to go constitutes a mathematical chance. unless you're a Spies fan

fabrizio's 346 vs haga's 436 with only 50pts left on the table.

fabrizio is very much mathematically out of the championship.

If Spies and Haga take each other out in Race 1 and neither grids up for Race 2 and Fabrizio wins both races and he gets double word score for being a douchebag, then he wins the championship.

Oh, you meant from Fabrizio's perspective. Got it.
