2009 World Superbike Round 14 - Portimao (Race 2 Spoilers)

[fastwin]

My money is on Fabrizio taking out Haga under the Repsol teamwork philosophy.

That cracks me up! Good one. Too bad the reality of that statement isn't as funny. If Rossi hadn't tossed it in that last race Nicky would have never won that championship and we'd all hate Pedro-bot even more... if that's possible.

Still, it's going to be a killer race weekend in Portugal! It's going to drive me nuts as I will be driving back into town when it's broadcast and will have to watch it all later on Sunday evening. For once I won't look at the results on the internet first, it'll be a surprise. I'll be happy for either rider who wins it. I can't loose!

I think the single biggest thing I like about Spies is the fact that he and Nori actually have fun racing against each other. And the kid honestly would be happy if Nitro Nori ended up with the championship.

While it would be nice to see Ben pull it off in his only year in WSBK competition, I think Nori deserves it more from shear consistency. Well that and I have a sick twisted love affair with remembering Nori on the R7...

yep, it is about impossible to lay any hate on the Ben  but I've been waiting long enough, it's Nori's year, dang it!!!

a green hornet casting call?

Ben better quit f-ing around and get his head in the game. They can spoon all they want on monday but he's got a championship to win.

[Spidey]

As a spectator, nothing would be better than Race 1 being between Ben and Nori, with Ben finishing first and Nori second.  Cuz then it ALL comes down to Race 2.

Giggity!   [moto]

It's the same winer-takes-all scenario in WRC of Great Britain this weekend with Loeb and Hirvonen.
Anyone following this?

haven't followed WRC in a while now, but damn I'm tired of seeing Loeb win
