Melandri didn't fair so well, which meant 'Manny' (that's her name isn't it ?) wasn't jumping around in front of the camera much . With those loooong legs and bouncy bits I Oooooh ! where was I ?

Anyway hope he does better next round.

This man knows what to watch. Everyone should be backing Melandri.

Manu actually - short for Manuella (sp?). It was a bit chilly in Assen and Manu was way overdressed so we didn't miss anything.

That would be Manuela Raffaeta

guys guys guys.....half the comments have been about Manu and her wonderful rack.....all true but does it not show that whilst there was some good racing, the championship itself is a bit flat.....how do you go from a 9 second win in the first race to second in the second race??

I heard them say Lavatory wasn't happy in the first leg, the bike steered slower. Maybe he was happier and faster in the second.
Martin thought Sykes had cooked a tyre but obviously hadn't and came back to challenge in the last couple of laps.

Quintoli looks to be in a good place, has hurt himself a lot in the past.
That's the race, anymore on Manu ??? lol.

best moment last season...Manu kissed Melandri's helmet when he won a race....the commentators said something about how much she likes to kiss his helmet.....then giggled for a few minutes....

Boys and girls, Monza tonite Sky sport around 2130 hrs.

Sykes on pole with Laverty,Quintoli,and Rea close.
Very fast thru the forest Monza, luv it.

Word is there were a lot of close finishes and exciting racing through all classes.
And Jake Lewis got another podium in EJC!

Nudge nudge wink wink, I didn't allow enough time copying the SS race so missed the last restart.

Hectic stuff aye?
2nd leg awaits my leisurely afternoon today.
Luv the fast corners and drafting of Monza.

Great racing. Damn I wish Rea was on a quicker bike... he's having to ride the arse off it and that's going to end in tears. Great battle for the championship. I think Laverty has what it takes... calm, calculating and a very quick bike.

Just finished watching both Superbike races, What a race in race 1!! I'm backing Laverty for the big prize and Melandri to start charging on from now.
Is Guigliano making anyone else nervous with his loosey loosey racing??

hell sbks series is unbelivable!!! sky ditched motogp for a reason over priced and underwhelming if it wasnt for the new guy m.m. and the 600s motogp would be a dead rubber

Only just got to see the races... How good is Sam Lowes in WSS! Those last 2 laps of the 10 lapper were amazing — passes where there shouldn't have been any!
