Checa once again showed his class and why, at the end of the season, he will be World Champion; I admit I may have to eat those words, but all things being equal I can't see him being beaten, when he doesn't win he's on the podium. Is it suspicious that despite winning on two occasions his bike's failed to make it to Parc Ferme, could he be running a supercharger that he doesn't want the scrutineers to see? At least Castrol Honda got a load of TV time, thanks to Xaus acting as taxi driver.
It's a shame about Johnny's crashes resulting in a broken wrist and no ride on Sunday. Haslam seemed to be running well, although the rear-facing camera showed huge amounts of chatter, just before he high-sided. In-case you haven't heard he's going to be a daddy, so congratulations are due there.
Rain seemed to be the equalizer at Misano as well as at Silverstone this weekend, helping Tom Sykes set pole position, but the sun came out for the races.
Foret showed why he has been WSS World Champion with a classy ride, only spoilt slightly by a couple of little mistakes. Do you remember when he used to constantly look over his shoulder, causing him to fall of on a couple of occasions? He seems to have cured that habit now. And now confession time; I've never really rated Broc Parkes, I could never understand how he managed to get such good rides. Yes, that's right, Broc Parkes, the guys whose leading the WSS Word Championship, just goes to show what I know. Sam Lowes was doing really well to catch Foret with 5 laps to go and then a back marker decided to hold the racing line, losing Sam 1 second on that lap, but he still managed to get third, which is fantastic considering he's just come back from injury, and this is his rookie year. Chaz managed 6th,
As for the SKBC Fantasy racing. Bel's still leading on 788 points, Noddy's second on 757 points, and Paul's third with 702 points. Only one to worry about is Stevie W on 666 points. Maybe we should rename him Damien. As for everyone else, you all losers (obviously not Steve, he seems to have contacts in low places!).
