Quote of the weekend has to come from Marco Mellandri after superpole. He saw Biaggi ahead of him, knew he'd been fast all weekend, so decided to follow him. "I would like to thank Max for this pole position." He even tried not giggling whilst saying it, but failed. Only to follow this up after Race one by thanking Max for his mistake, although this time he did keep a straight face.
Checa seemed to succumb to the pressure of a home race by trying too hard and crashing in Race 1, but got it back together for Race 2 with a 3rd place. It was also Haga's 300th WSB race, which seemed to pass without too much mention.
Chaz had a good WSS race, despite Szkopek trying to take him out in qualifying. When Chaz went to have a word in the pits it almost came to blows, each blaming the other. I've seen the video, if this had been MotoGP Szkopek would have been taken to a quiet place and shot. However, WSB seem to take a more reasonable approach and just ignored it. Sam Lowes, still coming back from injury, got 2nd and Salom was 3rd.
Tommy Hill showed his class at Knock Hill by doing his first double, but Shakey showed his class by qualifying badly (a crash in qualifying leaving him in 9th) and still managing to get on the podium. Hopkins showed his passion by faling off and then doing a Scottish jig across the grass, it would appear there was nothing wrong with his rear tyre, it was just a crap one!
As for the really important stuff. Bel's still leading, Noddy's still 2nd and Paul's still 3rd. At least Steve's no longer on 666 points!
This weekend we've got the Assen TT, don't forget it's on Saturday. The results of the Fantasy racing will be late next week as I'm on holiday. Try not to miss me too much!
