Showdown

[fazermal]

Well lets hope the Sultan of Slide and Spies put up a good fight this weekend, i'll be cheering for Haga he deserves the title

[Coddy]

Yes, Haga for me. But its the 'Samurai of slide"
The Sultan, could be Gazza. (Sultan of the Brooneye).

I would love Haga to win it, he's the champion that never has been champion, always close but never quite.....
He needs, and deserves to be champion at least once and it think on the Duke it may be his last chance at it....
But Spies is on top form as usual. should be a cracking race this weekend.......come on Haga...

[Gazza]

Only one second covers the top 16 after second qualifying. It's going to be close.

[Jay]

Well done Camier for sticking the Aprilia in on 15th less than a second behind Rea, if he has had more time on test, could get a top 10 from him tomorrow.

[rodsquad]

Ah well that was a bit of a disappointment, Haga down in the first race Spies only needeed to cruise in the second race, I wonder if Haga is speaking to his team mate

Full marks to Fabrizio if you ask me. It's a race and Haga shouldn't be looking for some body else to help him. Nori has made a bit of an arse of it to be honest. Once again he's the nearly man. This year was by far his best opportunity yet and he blew it. Unfortunately for him, Ben also chose this year to join in the fun.

Ben has been outstanding all year, particularly considering he's brand new to most of the tracks. Taking so many pole positions has clearly demonstrate the class he has. MotoGP will be a different ball game and, like others, he may find it hard to adapt at first. I think he may fall off a lot to start with as he is very competitive and will not like being back in the pack. Should be good to watch.

[Coddy]

Yamaha fairly wiped the floor with everyone this season.
Moto Gp title, WSB title, WSS title, BSB title.

Ducati F*cked up big time, Haga lost by six poinrs, if the team told Fabrizio to let Haga past and not win in the last race it would have been 1 point differance, and if the team had told Fabrizio to let haga past at the weekend he would be champion.
Great ride by J Rea, but he got a bit keen an the last lap and lost a place, but good effort.....he should be fighting witrh Fabrizio next year....

[steve]

on paper before the season started Haga must have been favourite by a mile but anyone who has watched that championship for a few years will know Davide Tardozzi has always had his favoured rider within the team , i firmly believe his favoured rider wasnt Haga this year , can anyone remember how he reacted when Toseland won the title instead of Laconi ?

hats off to Spies tho as being a rookie he showed class an skill (his bike was pretty good also) to get so many poles and win 14 races on tracks he has never ridden on

[cbr1100]

One thing that makes it worse is Tardozzi is also Fabrizios agent manager..................
