sick races

Good races...Biaggi was flying on the Ape! 

What the hell happened to Ducati?  Sign of things to come with Tardozzi leaving at the end of last season?

Both Haga and Fabrizio struggled with front end confidence according to the British Eurosprt guys.

That's a good question.

This will not be Haga's year either I am afraid.

+1

Sad to say, but I agree that Nori's shots at a title may be gone.  Haslem is really strong this year and the Aprilia is looking good.  I think I'll reserve judgement on Nori for another 3-4 races.  Lets see if they can get it turned around and make up any ground in the next couple months.

The Ben stole Nori's mojo.

both ducs were out after superpole 1, "massively misjudging pace"... which sounds like marketing for didn't have it.  hmm, remember the first time a factory ducati was on this track...

check out the emperor!  you go, you tiny little bugger.  =)

for cal's qualy effort.  too bad about race 1.

I'm beginning to think that as well, which sucks. He was so god last year before his accident and it's really surprising to see him struggle this year.
