Fazer Pete Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Damn, missed it Didn't realise it was on today Quote
techno Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Both races are on this aft they show 1st race again before 2nd one live. Quote
queen bodecia Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 You can watch it live online if like me you don't have Eurosport. I think they'll be showing race highlights for a few weeks too if you miss owt...http://www.worldsbk.com Quote
Keithg24 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 It is soooooooo good to have the racing back,however not a single Brit in sight. Quote
techno Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 It is soooooooo good to have the racing back,however not a single Brit in sight. But that just means you can watch as a neutral and sometimes you get more enjoyment out of it.Plenty of brits in supersport tho! Quote
Fazer Pete Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Excellent, bikes back on telly Saw race 2, great to watch, even if it is a bit of a Ducati cup Ok, so a Duke didn't actualy win race 2, but they took all the other places Quote
techno Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 No but my fantasy racing team between them won both!! Quote
Evs7 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 What a fantastic start to the new season, looking like it's going to be another close year.Bayliss was simply awesome, he'll be sadly missed next year. how many riders could start 7th, battle through to the front, go off the track several times, battle back through and still win the race. Biaggi and Xaus look handy on their privateer Ducati's. Race 2 was amazing, I thought they were going to take each other out. Biaggi may be a very smooth rider and very quick but he needs to learn to overtake. Everytime he runs wide or forces the person his overtaking wide.Nice to see that Haga and Biaggi are back at it again, I don't think there was any love lost between them two last year and there certainly isn't now. There didn't seem too much wrong in the passing move but there was contact between the tyres and something came off one of their bikes.but still a bit of a stupid idea to go round a corner at speed one handed. Glad he's ok though looked a nasty one landing on his head.Very glad to see Team Alstare Suzuki doing so well and Max and Fonsi certainly showed they have what it takes to compete this year.All in all fantastic racing and theres more in 7 days at Phillip Island.WSSThe axe murderers as the series has come to be known was as ever very lively. With only two bikes out after two corners. Johnny Rea looked like he had a good chance if he could settle in, I think he just saw Foret disappearing and started to panic a bit. nasty crash and I don't think the Hannspree garage is the one I would like to be in. The new fireblade failed to perform at all and was the fourth best behind Ducati, Suzuki and Yamaha.There is going to be a fuel engineer hiding in the Yamaha garage somewhere tonight as both bike ran out, luckily one of them finished first.

Guest Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 yeah was great racing......biggest let down of the weekend goes to Kiyo ! where was he ! Quote
queen bodecia Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Xaus is still proper fit. Phwoaarrr... Quote
techno Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Just wondering if haga was trying to immitate rossi when he gave biaggi the hand signal that time in the 500's!!http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4zAT64SUs7M Quote
DutchMick Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Cost me points too, bloody Haga! I love him really Quote
Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Had to laugh at Haga in the first race, thats so somethin i would do LOL, all in all a fantastic few races, loved the supersport race's to Matt Quote
Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 What a spectacular week end in Qatar!Fortunately, Ducati didn't win the second race thanks to Nieto!I hope he'll win again in Australia but Ducati's are too strong and Bayliss and Corser are at home... What a suspense! Quote
