Interesting races, particularly #2. So Checa ran a soft rear in the 2nd race - do we know for sure that he ran a hard in race 1? If he did, that was a really bold decision to go to the soft for the next race.

Melandri's a wild man. Way to make friends and influence people  ;D

Really impressive runs by Rea, especially considering his injuries. And I don't think he mentioned his wrists  [thumbsup]

Now on to Monza. Bet Max won't have any complaints about tires there.

Just watched race 2

holy cow I didn't think CC was gonna get it back [clap]

Max had to have been pissed.

He was doing his thing and all the sudden he couldn't put the bike where he wanted. There was a ducati in the way :D

What a great finish to race 2.  With the speed of Aprilia, I thought Max as going to pull away.  Great move by Checa to reclaim the lead!

So what happened over the Winter ?

Did the 1098 R get faster or did the Aprilila get slower ?

Although I don't follow WSB that closely, it seems that Checa had a really good race plan wrt making that last strategic pass.  He took Biaggi at a difficult point on the track, but where he could effectively get some distance due to the (non-factory) Duc's better tires/handling and prevent Biaggi from getting close enough on the straights, where Max's bike would be faster, to reclaim the lead....

BTW - what happened to the "A-style" posters and billboards?  [evil]

Not likely, he spanked Checa in Race 1. (21sec)

Both.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The eurosport guys said it was injury.

Didn't they force them to use the normal belts/chain and do away with the trick valve "kit?"

Checa is riding more consistently.

The Duc was fast last year as well. Checa was flat out spanking everyone in both races at Miller last year...until his bike quit on him with electrical gremlins. He had a huge gap on Biaggi in both races prior to his problems. The factory team was slow due to the riders.
