Default Racing 2009

Whats up??? We're a few races into 2009, want to know what ya'll think. Spies seems to be the man in WSBK & Mladin seems to be unbeatable so far in AMA. Do you think Rossi will dominate MotoGP or be dethrowned? For my fellow CBR riders in the CAN, UK, NL, GER, AUS, SA or where ever you may be, represent your rider or team... Hope we can keep this one going thru out the season. Safe Riding!!!

Casey Stoner is 0.7s faster than Rossi in testing. I think its going to be like Laguna all year long.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

I saw that article. Good on him. I hope he joins the top 5, but it's going to depend alot on his attitude. He got beat up alot in GP.

Well Hopkins got some points. Spies I believe has to settle down, twice he's gotten a lil behind Haga & paniced, which cost him ZERO points!!! Its almost MotoGP time!!!

It's interesting that you think he's overwhelmed by the challenge of Haga.

Well twice when he needed to charge forward he crashed. Not to say I'm 100% but it seems sometimes he not use to being patient.

He's also charged and won. Whatever the reason, this is going to be a helluva season!

It's because it's air-cooled.
