But yes, good for Marco in race 1 and then... way to fuck it up, Marco, in race 2.

That's how the British commentators saw it as well. Rea said that Haslam turned into him. Put it down as a racing incident. Lucky for Rea. Poor judgement for Melandri as BMW would have been 1-2 in the second race as well.

Pretty cool for melandri. Goes down in history. First BMW race win. That's fucking cool

If Sykes can break through soon, he'll be a title threat.

I havent seen the race but it looks like Haslam lowsided and took out Marco...NO?

BTW I totally called MArco getting BMW's 1st win.

Yes, he did, after receiving a nice bump from Rea. Watch the race and decide for yourself. Reactions are all over the spectrum; ranging from blaming Melandri completely to putting quite a bit of the blame on Rea.

Haslam didn't enter the final turn defensively enough, letting Melandri attempt to make a desperation dive inside. The rest is history.
 
Melandri started it but Johnny put himself where there was no room. He did this a couple times and got away with it. Disappointed not to see BMW get their second win.

Marco completely screwed up the penultimate corner and tried to make it all back going into the final one, screwing that one up too. And the Rea happened to be there. Wrong place, wrong time.

BMW 1-2 double, with 1 win a piece to the riders, would have been an epic weekend.
 
Damn, we finally get some decent weather and once again WorldSBK delivered, they were taking no prisoners out there today.

There was the bump pass on Biagi in race 1 by Rea. He's not afraid to swap paint. Wonder what Lorenzo would have to say about it?

:thumbup excellent racing. Haslam IMO rode better than Melandri both races save for that one mistake that cost him race 1.

Haslam cathing back up in Race One was awesome. 1 or 2 more laps and he would have owned Melandri.

Rea..... must have gone to the Pedrosa School of Overcooked Inside Passing. (PSOIS)

Rea took both out ala zoog.


Marco won, but Haslam out rode Marco until he handed the win to him out of the Esses. :thumbdown

Glad to see the superbike boys racing tough

Sounds like rationalization. He out rode him at all the points except the one that matters lol


GP guys again!
 
How 'bout that Checa. Too shitty rounds in a row. And everybody's been pretty quiet about the Aprilia lately... after Max's last to 2nd place in the opening round, talking about unfairness (cough Ducati)

I think age may eventually be catching up. With both of them. With kawi and Beemer finally getting sorted, with young talented riders, its much harder.

Shitty at monza was expected. The Ducati has no chance there. That they got out with almost no damage was good for him. We will see if he gets back to his winning races.

Biaggi and aprilia? Not sure what's up there.
 
Today melandri pulled off the trifecta.

Making factory money, winning races, and fucking supermodel bitches.

What's up now
