Howdy,
:tab I did not get to see all of the racing this weekend, but I think we got it all on tape. I did get to see the AMA Superbike racing on Saturday. Good stuff!! Matt Maladin is a freaking machine. Once he gets out front, he's gone. E Boz tried to give chase for a while but just could not maintain the same pace. There was a brief time during the race where riders were dropping like flies! It was a pretty exciting race. Watching those guys rail down through the corkscrew was amazing. I'd love to get a chance to ride that someday.
:tab Sunday I managed to watch the MotoGP. Rossi was his typical self. Biaggi ran out front for a short time while Rossi was passing everyone to catch up to Biaggi. Rossi really makes passing look easy. Once he got up on Biaggi's rear, he just pushed and pushed. Biaggi eventually blew a corner, Rossi made the pass and was gone. Sete ran a lonely third for most of the race. Honda swept the podium. The Ducatis hung out in the 4th-7th positions for most of the race. Edwards initally fell back from his starting position but then climbed up as high as 6th I think. I had hoped he'd do a little better. Hayden did pretty good this time out, finishing in 7th I think, ahead of Edwards. :( Most of the exciting racing was from 5th place back. I really get tired of listening to the announcers heap praise on ne'r do wrong Rossi and scorn on always do wrong Biaggi. You'd almost think Rossi has these guys on his payroll! Biaggi can't be all that bad, he consistently finishes at the top of the field. Anyway, much like the AMA superbike race, most of the exciting action was back around 5th-8th place.
:tab I got home early enough Sunday afternoon to catch the AMA Supersport. Now this was a really good race! Miguel and B Boz were in the mix for this one, but were not running up front. Jake Zemke was running Buckmaster hard and eventually got around him. However, Hacking was not to be denied. He made some incredible passes in the middle of the corkscrew for the lead and checked out. Zemke eventually took 2nd I think. All these races start blurring together after a while :oops: Curtis Roberts tried stuffing Jason Disalvo on the inside, lost his front end and took both of them out of 4th place!! A cool last lap, last corner outside pass put Texan Ben Spies ahead of Buckmaster for 3rd place. It was a great race!
:tab I have the 250 MotoGP on tape and both rounds of the WSB. Hopefully, I'll get to watch that in the next day or so. Kudos to SpeedTV for showing all this racing!
