If it rains for the race, expect the Ducs and the Brits to do well.

Shouldn't it always rain at Assen? Isn't it always supposed to? It was always on Mamola's wish list! [laugh] [popcorn]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I know this is a good track for Hopper but it's nice to see him up there none the less.

It is indeed. And nice to see Sykes kicking butt in Superpole 3 races in a row! Good to see the Kawis in the mix. [thumbsup] What happened to Biaggi? Huh? :P

Absolutely crazy race results. As I mentioned earlier, if it's Assen there must be rain! [bang] [popcorn] Mixed up the championship points chase for sure. But all will get settled later in the season. There always seems to be a race like this weekend's Assen craziness every season. It all comes out in the wash as long as no season ending injuries occur. Best I can tell everyone came out OK.

Still, good to see Rea do well and a 1st win for Guintoli. Nothing wrong with mixing up the usual order of things! [thumbsup] Just racing...

Any clue why SPEED is playing make the beast with two backsing NASCAR instead of the race?

I planned my day around this
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

Great races today.

Guintoli was on.

Biaggi wasn't...

and WTF was Carlos thinking? Full Rains with the sun out?  ???
