I think I was as gutted as Davis about the first race.

Would anybody bet against Rea for the crown again?

I think Rea has one hand on the title already. Chaz needs to take a leaf out of MM book,2nd is better than 0,esp when he is on the back foot with problems in the practise.Oh well its a long season.Another problem Chaz may face is the speed of Melandri.

5 Wins and a second, not bad going Johnny Rea .

Just got round to watching race 2. Davies really earned that, both he and Rea were on the ragged edge.

Assen this weekend. Is anyone interested?

I'll be there ,remote in hand !

Just hope those Dutchees'keep the fingers in the Dykes,we want a dry race.

ps you getting more traffic with the Gorge closed ? I need new rubber anyway.

Hi Gazza

The bastard traffic is bad. I tried standing there shaking my fist, but it did no good. I considered stripping to my undies and standing there shaking my fist. The wife agrees this would persuade people to go another way

I must check that I'm set to "record". Next ad break?

[Dadpole]

Q1 was sheer idiocy at the end. Why do they feel the need to all be on the same piece of track? Any slipstream help is negligible, but they will drop a good lap to stop a follower then dick around waiting for a tow themselves.

I was thinking last night,(do that now and again ) that road ain't gunna put up with too much traffic before some of the already bad corners start breaking up ?
I hope the 'truffle hunters' don't start hanging out up there looking for revenue ?

Enjoyed the first leg of WSB tho, Rea and Davies having a bit of verbal in Qual. Race 1 sorted itself out anyway.(without giving away results)......

[BMWST?]

was an awesome race till the last lap.Woulda been really intersting,cant help but think that the same fella would have one,but the other fella had done a very good job until that penulimate lap.A last lap demon braking manouvre was on the cards though.Wonder what happened?

Three times world champ here we come ?

Three times world champ here we come ?

It does look that way. That combination of Rea and surely the best bike on the grid makes it a race for second.

On a positive note: The 300 race was a thriller. Which is better? Moto3 or SSP300.

Dunno but that 300 race was all elbows and knees and being a girl certainly didn't get Ana Carrasco any extra consideration.
