Short version--  Haga is Bayliss.  Fabrizio is not teh suck anymore.  Byrne is.  Smrz is fast for one lap. 

The Ducs sounded damn good at Miller...even if the results didn't favor them there. With plenty of European rounds coming up, I suspect Nori will step up and deliver.

Nice to see Lanzi back on a Duc...even if it's under less-than-ideal circumstances.

Just nice to see someone who didn't have a ride get one. He's a nice guy too. Met him at a pizzeria in SLC.

Fabrizio was looking super fast at Miller, as he has the last couple rounds. He was the only one even trying to give Spies a race. I'm hoping he can keep it up as he seems like a pretty funny guy with a good personality...easy to cheer for. He caught some grief for that wave he gave Spies a round or two ago as he passed him, but he still seems like a good guy regardless.

um, more like the glad-to-see-a-guy-get-a-seat-on-the-grid angle.

the reason he didn't have a ride in the first place is because he lost it.

It's an empathy thing. All those guys are better riders than I, and I hate to see any one of 'em lose a seat.
