I watched WSBK too but with Spies gone I just wasn't as excited about it...but good racing no doubt.

you could always root for roger, he almost made it into superpole this time

True...I've owned a couple of Kaw's.

Spies being on an R1 and American helped.

I wouldn't even mind seeing Haga win a title.

Watched it after sbk last night. Kind of a snoozefest in comparison.

I find Spies' 5th place finish to be pretty damn respectable.

Oh I don't know about that...I mean come on it was his first shot.

HOWEVER I can understand you thinking that since he has raced that circuit before...winning both of last years WSBK races...so he knows the track.

Trying to run with Stoner (when he doesn't wreck)...Lorenzo (when he doesn't wreck)...Rossi...Pedrosa and a couple of others will be a tough nut to crack especially for a non factory team.

toesland and edwards were champs too. Some of the things that occured on that bike under JT were flat out inexcuseable. Not his first gp ride either. He had wildcards and that last race last year.

Edwards made mention of the diff between factory spec power and satellite team spec engines. I wonder how much more Rossi and Jorge have? Spies was making up for that diff however great until Jorge punched it.

Of course there were factory bikes behind him too...Perhaps having last years powerplant will be an advantage in the final races, knowing the limitations power and fuel mileage wise??
