The announcers jinxed him. Said at the start that he hasn't crashed since they can remember. Two brilliant rides ending in the gravel. That second one looked like the bike missed him by about 5 feet and I think that could have been fatal.

That was some day for Max. He was looking so good too. Well no one can accuse him of riding around for a paycheck.

How about Sufagalus? save in the first race? Ive never seen anyone go that fast in the grass without going down.

Dont forget next week is Daytuna. Starts Thursday on Speed.

I missed the reason he was starting from 16th place.

Anybody know why they had him so far back on the grid?

I think they said he missed qualifing for some reason and thats where they shoe horned him in. Too bad he didnt get to start up front, he wouldnt have had to ride so hard.

Not only do we have Daytona starting on Thursday but we have the season opener of MGP at Qatar this weekend.

You guys hear that Scott Russell will be racing this week?

That grid crash of his a few years ago was gnarly.

Yes that was the reason he qualified so poorly. That get off in the second race was at about 150 mph. Scary as hell. They're going to put more weight on the Ducatis very soon. Corser & the Yamahas had a lousy weekend too. Haga couldn't do anything & Corser was lucky to get on the podium in the first race. Still some of the best racing around. At any given time there was 5 or 6 guys going for it. I love WSB. Hope MotoGP is as good.

Yep he's supposed to be running the superstock race. It'll be on Speed Channel Thursday. I watched him win the 200 for yamaha. Even got to meet him and drink a beer with him outside his motorhome after the race. Now that's down to earth.
