+11tyb.  I didn't even watch Race 2 after he lost his shifter, and have stayed away from commenting for a coupla days.  Ya know, this season would be much more interesting if Ben didn't have a DNF every other race.

Ducati w/ Haga is putting on an absolute clinic.  No mechanicals, absolute consistency, no drama. 

P.S.  Dunno if y'all watched the Speed commentary, but that substitute announcer from South Africa sucked balls.
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

Well, Martin was out on track, so it seems that was the best they could do.  :-\

The crashes, DNF's and mechanicals are killin' Ben.
He's in a big hole.
If Haga has a bad spell, he might be able to claw it back, but that's not looking likely.

That's great news.  Really great news.  [thumbsup]

indeed it is.

so they're giving Lanzi his bike until he's back.  not a terribly big surprise... knows the ducati and he's unemployed  =)

well, when you consider there are 16 more races, it's not that big of a hole.

If Ben wins every race from here on out and Haga gets second in each, Haga wins the championship.  It's a pretty big hole.  Then again, it only takes one bad crash from Haga for him to miss a round or two and it's all wide open again (as long as Ben finishes more than 50% of the races [roll]).  Ya never know how it goes with racing. 

All I know is that I really don't want Fabrizio to beat Elbowz in the championship.
