Ditto.  Like keanu reeves said:  Whoa!

I was lucky enough to see a couple races in '02 at Donington Park (but not in the rain).  Beautiful course.

PS - there's traction control on today's SBK machines, yes?  I 've got to believe that changes the whole game and gives the rider a lot more ability in wet conditions.  It is just amazing how he's on it so hard that you see the front wheel lift.

Oh, yeah.  And they must have those special suction cups on the tires, too . . .  ;D

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I think I counted 4 points on the track at which his rear wheel actually had some purchase.  Impressive  [thumbsup]

traction control is no replacement for rider skill in the wet.

you forget that kiyonari raced the british superbike series for 4 years. he's had plenty of experience racing in the rain.

That is an amazing display of riding. Same thing with the MotoGP guys last weekend. There's not many of us that could get one of those bikes around the track in the dry in the same time it takes one of these guys in the wet. Hell, I'd probably goose the throttle once, shit myself and then spend the rest of the lap worrying about everyone noticing.
