It's so much worse in WSBK with Rea and Haslam. I love how they'll be commenting on how Rea's swoopier lines are so much better than everyone else's as he gets passed. It's happened twice.

There's good reason for them to focus on Rea and Haslam.  Rea is fast as hell and is 50/50 for torpedoing someone (the other 50% taken up by douchebrizio).  And Haslam's girl has awesome boobies.   waytogo

Yeah, I started out watching and then caught on occasional race later in the season, but just couldn't keep up with AMA, WSS, WSBK, MotoGP, 125, 250s and local club races.  Cuz it's critical that I escape the race season (a) still married and (b) with 'Lil Bastard still able to recognize me.  It'll be my winter project, along with a coupla 125 and 250 races I missed.

Interesting Spies interview re Valencia and difference between WSBK and GP bikes, particularly how the Bridgestones make a difference:

i hear ya.. i generally deprioritize the 125 races if i have to make the choice.  and the wife is pretty much into watching this stuff now... it was a matter of forcing her to watch, but we're there now =)
