BMW: 361 Aprilia 334.5 Ducati 322 Rider's standing Melandri: 308.5 Biaggi: 290 Sykes 267.5 But what happened to Biaggi? He made the most bonehead move i've ever seen that's what! I really hope Haslam is okay....wtf biaggi. At least he blew his championship lead with it. Go to 25 seconds in. |

On another note, I watched motogp Brno and it was reported Spies is not going BMW/Wsbk, but instead taking the Honda Gresini ride next year and staying in the series. |

Davies was a mid packer, having to race with local heroes on the AMA scene and can podium in SBK. Posted via PNW Riders Mobile |

Biaggi was just going too fast and locked the rear straight into Haslam plain and simple. Last edited by BobbyBlackFinger; 08-27-2012 at 09:53 AM.. |

Used to root for the guy somewhat, but after this weekend, I've put him in the "ass clown" category. I think Moscow is a bike-eating track though. I was also really hoping Sykes would get the double! But 1-2 is pretty good, seems like they've got their tire-munching issues behind them. My bandwagon is as follows: Checa Any Ducati Melandri Sykes Any other BMW Any other Kawi Any other bike/rider Biaggi dead fucking last! |
