Race 2 today, Chaz Davies made a drat good showing. Rea gave Chaz a fight of it, but the Ducati was a bit much in the long straights.

That was a great race by Welshie and a nail-biter toward the end. A little clash in the last few corners.

Huh. Does nobody use V-twins anymore?

I miss Indy :(

Yeah. That was a fun race. Maybe someday, when the sheiks take over the midwest, they'll bring back F1 or MotoGP.

Although I'd love to see a WSBK race within driving distance.

Rossi's penalty was because he gained .3 going off so they deducted .3 from his finished time. It was not a penalty, it was a time correction. Had nothing to do with the reason why he went off, I dunno why people don't get this. Most riders, when they leave the track, try to rejoin in the same place relative to other riders as they were in before they went off. Rossi did not because he's Rossi.

Seriously. I thought it was a pretty simple explanation. He got bumped off the line and had to straightline the turn, giving him a huge time advantage.

Maybe because we had the Americans announcing for this round and they explained it bad?
