Donington WSB 1/4 - Chat Here, May Contain Spoilers

Big,big mistake by Ducati. That was one weekend where they needed to win as other circuits will find them out.

People say I miserable? Anybodies see Corser face on podium yesterday? He make me look like very giggly guy!

Max Biaggi for WSB champ anyone?

hey i don't care if Ducati broke the rules, Bayliss' performance in that race was legendary, one of my favourite racing moments EVER

shame about Toseland's 2nd race & Bayliss this weekend, but WSB is turning into a very entertaining series this year. Haga rocks for taking that win!

And great to see Toseland riding so well this year, he deserves a lot of respect for beating the likes of Biaggi, Corser and Bayliss on competitive bikes...

Yer not wrong about that wind fella, blimely it w' cold. I still have managed to gain soem colour in the cheeks though.
Took the M1 route back which worked out well as the traffic wasn't too bad, relativly speaking.

From the wind? Although when i got home i could feel my face hadcaught summit, possibly wind possibly sun

I read that Bayliss lost most of one of his fingers in his accident - nasty. Breaking fingers is one thing - losing them is another. Also heard that Toseland's problem was the quickshifter, stuck permanently interrupting the ignition. All these gadgets - just more things to go wrong I guess.

Still, made for a heck of a second half of race 2. Max must be seriously kicking himself for the mistake on the last corner. I said to my mate that Haga would push him all the way after losing the lead and really go for it on the last lap, maybe with a bit of fairing bashing to boot, but I didn't expect him to be given the race on a plate like that. The group of Italians in front of us went from deliriously happy to thoroughly brassed off in about 3 seconds flat !!
