Valencia WSB (spoiler)

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Sun Apr 06, 2008 7:46 pm

Well wasnt that a turn up for the books!

The young German storming away with it, then so unluckily taken out by Checa :smt011 last bend too! How bloody unlucky is that! He rode an absolute blinder of a race in race 1 (Nice to see Biaggi having probs.. cant stand that bloke.. ) Hell of a lot of front end slides resulting in offs.. Tyres not up to par? Hmm..

Second race was great too.. again Mr Checa up near the front until he ended up with mapping problems (chin up chap.. what goes around..etc)
Great to see Nori score his first win of the season, leading well for the best part of the race. His second bike clearly doing a better job than his first bike, which punted him off in race 1 with a front end sliiiiide into the gravel.

The Eurosport commentary left a bit to be desired though.. Carlos overtaking Checa... EH!! Theyre the same bloke yer nutter... :smt011

Ah well, at least WSB wasnt snowed off like BSB was :smt009 I was looking forward to that too!

Yeah, have to agree. There were more than a few times when I let out sighs of 'Oh Fer fks sakes..'

Im sure Eurosport have been inundated with comments of a non-favourable nature!!

I did like their new word of the weekend.. Track..track.. tr.. Argh! Cant remember it now :smt005 :smt011

"Tractation"

.... and the commentary was rubbish.

Looks though they've moved Jim Whitham to BSB - hopefully he'll be doing both and only missing from one when the meetings clash. He's so damned funny and, of course, so knowledgeable.

Thought the 2nd race move by Checa to take the lead was brilliant - Haga and Bayliss in one sweet move ..... a bit better executed than his move for the lead in race 1 :smt018
