well, Haga goes down (imagine that). but carlos made it interesting to watch with that mad dash for 1st. even though i will never ride that track from watching on tv i dont think i like the layout of it.

Wow, the ending was worth watching the whole race. Lot's of rider low siding on race 1. Didn't Haga win race 2?

that was some entertainment. Haga's crash in race 1 was just stupid, he could have come in the top 5 easy. At least he won race 2, i was happy with that.

How bad do you feel for Neukirchner though? Guy runs like he's on rails for the whole race , is damn near guaranteed the win and gets cannnballed on the last lap by Checa who then remounts (f**k knows how) to finish 5th AND leapfrogs Neukirchner in the standings. I really thought Checa was gonna get him but that passing move was death or glory and unfortunately for Max N. ... it was points death. Haga's thrown away too many points this year. Hate to say it but he's toast for the champeenship.

at least Haga ran well in race 2.. but Bayliss has built quite a points lead already..

Couldn't believe Haga crashed. If I was Neukirchner I would have gotten all NASCAR on Carlos and chucked my helmet at him!

Too early to rule Nori out! There are 22 races left!! He'll get his rhythm going. I agree. It's way early yet. Haga starts to shine later in the season. If he can just keep it on two wheels and stay in the top five for the next few races then pull out a few wins he can do it. Look what he did last year. He was that close.

Yes, but Bayliss is looking like he's gonna be hard to stop. It's his final year of racing and he's wanting to go out with a bang, everyone else is being too inconsistent (so far at least) and he just keeps on building that points lead. Doesn't matter how consistent Nori may be if Bayliss is equally as consistent WITH a points advantage. Too bad for Nori, I was hoping this would finally be his year to take it all after his strong run last year.

That last lap was nuts, I think he tried to stick him too late! Should have just been happy and humble with 2nd Place IMO...

Carlos keeps saying Max 'closed the door on him' and it was one of those racing things. Ok. Carlos lost the front, went down, THEN hit Max's front wheel. It was clear on a replay from a different angle. That Honda flipped a few times and still manages to get 5th. Reminds me last year when Toseland's Honda ran most of the race with no coolant. These CBRs are apparently indestructible.

Definitely /carlos' fault. He was on the deck before he even touched Max.

He eventually figured out it was the traction control system and turned it off. Then it took him a few laps to 'relearn' to ride without it. Derek
