    Nurburgring Superbikes

    Is it just me, or was the last round of the Superbikes at Nurburgring great to watch?!

    The incident on the first lap of the first race looked painful!!

    Also in the second race when Rea took Haga down. Steve Martin says it is a racing accident, but as I see it, Rea went in too fast up the inside and hit him fair and square! The camera shot from outside of turn 1 looking back to the apex shows Rea going in miles too fast!

    Otherwise, was great racing!
    Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

    Yep totally agree, 125's and 250's at misano were slightly better imo.

    That crash was nasty, it looked like Hopkins was run over right over his neck? Wouldn't be the most comfortable way to be run over!

    Not sure about the haga incident. I sort of agreed with the commentators call of a racing incident. It's a hard one to call though, either way Haga really has a big task coming back from this now.

    Still think Rea was at fault - onus being on the overtaking competitor and all.......

    Never mind, great to see Rea hold off Ben!

    What I can't figure out is whether Biaggi is riding the socks off that RSV, or the bikes great and he's shit. I'm leading towards the later as he doesn't seem to do anything with a wow factor! Just sits there in 3rd or 4th biding his time. Maybe I'm just blind.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    I thought there was some great racing in there.

    The Hopkins incident was well scary though. I watched it quite a few times and it seems like the front wheel ran over his shoulder and just smacked his helmet. A couple of inches to the left and we may have been mourning another death

    Watched it last night. yep was aw sum Close tight racing, great.
    The nurburgring always provides good viewing, Pity we dont see the superstock rounds aswell.
    Was a bit pist at the haga/rea incident, bit aggressive i thought.
    Still quite tight points wise so should be a cracking last few rounds.
