looks like Hacking will have two more races in world superbike. He impressed Kawasaki, even though he took out his teammate. It will be interesting to see how he handles the other tracks.

Woooop woop. Hayden got 10th. My prediciton is gonna come true, I just know it. Well, I was one race off, I said he would be top 10 by the last race where he placed 12th. But I read that they finally found a decent ballance for Hayden on the bike and the next race looks very promising.

The one thing I noticed with the last race is Hayden didnt fall of his pace. he kept the same pace the entire race where before he would fall of the pace dramatically after the first 5-6 laps.

But how about Rossi?? That guy never ceases to amaze me in his talent. Man that was a good battle. Too bad if ya missed it. Probably the best riding that we'll see this year.

I must agree, Rossi is a BAADDD Boy!!! I want to say that was the best finish this year. Hayden did improve, but to be a Champion, he not even a named mentioned as a contender like Stoner & Rossi. Pedrosa, is hanging in there but needs to get some wins, he starts out well & seems to fade also as the race progresses.

Perhaps Hayden needs a new coach. Give me a call, I'll come coach you Nicky.

It's crazy how well Spies is doing. I think a lot of people were hoping that he would do good, but it really has been riduculous when you consider that the only track that he knows on this season is Miller. I'm a little disappointed that he doesn't sound like he will do either of the US MotoGP races. I'm going to the race in Indy and I don't think that any either Nicky or Colin have much of a chance. Who knows though, Nicky put up a good fight there last year so maybe he'll improve enough by then. I wonder how long it will take Spies to move to MotoGP.

I think Spies is making himself worth a LOT more money right now. And making a name for American racing too.

I will say it was Spies if it works out could be the next Rossi... I think if he wins a title or 2 in WSBK & then move up & win, win, win in MotoGP nothing but $$$... I plan to head to Indy also, but will wait to get the forecast before commiting 100%. Last year was crazy with the rain. I wished Nicky could have hung on to win, but no such luck... Was the best race for him last year.

Dude, when someone like Kevin Schwantz says Spies could end up even better than he was...amazing.

So what happened with Ben's bike in Rnd. 2...is it because Italians are running that Yamaha team. All passion, no quality control...mama mia!

I was glad to see Rea and Honda win a race...
