Ducs are running strong I see, but good for Yamaha! :dthumb:

Sounds like the makings of a great 09 season. Good on Ben Spies. I don't think running against Mladin every weekend got him the credit as a rider he deserved. WSBK is about to be served by an American!:zowned:

whats great about spies so far is that he has no prior experience on these tracks. hes doing well :)

GO Spies, GO Neukirchner!

Rsv is doing great for a brand new design :D

Reports say it has been terribly hot there so tire choice and wear will play a big part. Since they are on the same brand and there are limited compounds to choose from clever race strategy and/or the machine/rider best able to put the power down smoothly will see them at the front come finish time!

I AGREE!! I knew I liked you! and not just for the seemingly never ending supply of pictures beautiful women you post up for us!

It might take Ben a bit to get his feet wet but hes the man! and a hell of a nice guy!

Superpole starts around 10pm CT tonight ;)
