Chaz Davies is faster than Casey Stoner - in a go-cart admittedly, but he still beat him, and apparently set a lap record, oh yes, and he won the SuperSport race. Sam Lowes had to get his brolly-dolly identical twin brother to drive him home, a massive high side landed him on his head, the term from the medical centre was "severe concussion" and a broken collar bone. Gino Ra threw it away from what looked like a safe second, however he did have clutch problems throughout all the races (2 red flags, that was interesting).
Johnny's back, three in a row at Assen, shame Checa had to shit in his tea-cup, and Biaggi, but a 1st and a 3rd are still good results and put him 4th in the championship. Checa, again top class, kept his head, used a tyre that can only do 9 laps, and took Biaggi on the last corner of the penultimate lap, could this be his year?
Yet again it looked like Haslam had to seriously over-ride the bike and managed to get a 12th and a 5th, and Corser managed to throw it away in the second race.
A good second race from Camier, and a flash of the old Haga, leading the race for a while - and then the money started to show, being out-paced by factory bikes.
For those of you interested (if you're not stop reading now) we've booked our flights and hotels for Portimao in October, at the moment it's Bel & Karen, Barry & Ez, John & Ev, Paul & Karen, Noddy (no mates) going. Flying out of Stansted 13th October and back on 18th October. If anyone else wants to go you better think about booking soon, the cheap flights are running out quickly.
And now for the important stuff.
Steve W is at the top, followed by Ez and then Bel. Noddy's dropped to 6th & 7th, has he peaked too early? James is 4th, which considering he's a self-confessed dunce when it comes to bike racing is pretty good (or pretty lucky depending on your point of view!), Vicky's managed to leave the bottom, which would be impressive if it wasn't for the fact that the team that's dropped below her is Barry's joke team..... And how am I doing?? Pretty crap actually, but I'm beating Karen, which obviously isn't important.
The next round should have been MotoGP from Motegi this weekend, but due to the earthquake it's been postponed, however to make up for it TwitGP2 took place this weekend, and was won by Colin "Colin" Colin (you may know him as Colin Edwards). The next real race is Brands Hatch BSB on Bank Holiday Monday, anyone fancy going?
Bored now, and I've got to do the washing up, I just can't put it off anymore. Bye
