Marco wasn’t the one that took out Haslam, Rea did the deed, chew his ass.

re: “And the starting grid is so sparse it is pathetic.”

and the finishing grid even more pathetic as 3/4 of the CRT’s retire with DNF’s. ironic when you consider their superbike counterparts (in a higher state of tune) have no problem seeing the checkers in 2 races.

I might have to follow WSBK a little more closely. Sounds like real racing. MotoGP is getting a little… I have to say, it’s getting a little boring for my taste. We need more action at the front!

MotoGP is the series that needs help. The fast guys are fun to watch but there are only three of them. And the starting grid is so sparse it is pathetic.

Melandri shows no respect to Haslam. I hope he got his ass chewed for his stupid pass attempt.

GREAT to see BMW fighting it out for a win! I admit that Melandri used poor judgment in the last turn of round 2. But that’s racing, eh? He’ll be back, and so will Haslam.

For Leon Haslam’s and BMW’s sake, I hope that Melandri got a stern talking-to after race 2. Yes, it was Rea’s move that knocked LH down, but the entire situation was brought about by Melandri’s absurd impossi-lunge in that corner when the race was for all intents and purposes, over.

If he just kept it in his pants, he would have had a 1-2, and BMW would have had two historic wins in a breakthrough weekend. Instead, he attempted a ridiculous never-successful-in-100-tries lunge from waaaay too far back, and punched a hole that Rea rightfully went for. The fact that Melandri did this against his team mate makes it completely unforgivable.

Wow, what a couple of amazing races though…plus the F1 race was great too (I know, hard to believe). What’s next…a compelling MotoGP race? I know, I know…but I dare to dream.

Awesome races! I forget how good these races can be. Those guys at the front REALLY wanted it! I was entertained! Better than Eslick’s Buell burnout last week at Sears Point…maybe.
