Race two was pretty good, I was hoping for Fabrizio to get a win, but Haga worked for it!

He has every right to be cocky
. Italian on an Italian factory bike and starting to do really well. He's got a shot at winning the championship so he should be racing his teammate. Thats what I like about motorcycle racing, not too many team orders.

Fabrizio and Haga must get along very well... After the race, Haga smacked Fabrizio on the head with his golve as the two of them chuckled there way to the podium. Then they proceeded to cover some poor girl in champaign, Haga ran out, grabbed another bottle and kept it going! LOL
Holy shit, the Ducati boys were on top of it this weekend. I hope that elevated the team's moral even more! Spies team is still trying to figure out how to screw on shifter levers and keep the fuel cool so they could fit enough in, like everyone else happened to be able to do without issue at Monza. I mean seriously, how poor of a team do you have to be, to have two team related failures in 2 races! Ducati's MotoGP team has done that before, but on a very different level, it was very hard to pinpoint if it was a team issue or just a bad part on the bike.
Anyway, Spies and his team are learning lessons and at this rate, the next mistake Spies makes, no matter how small, will probably be the end of the championship for him. Miller is going to be the tell-all for the rest of the year. If Haga can win at Miller (very doubtful) then in my opinion its all over.

What constantly amazes me is that this little motorcycle manufacturer..Ducati...just beats the "Big Four" like rented mules on a consistant basis! Not only winning but going 1-2 or 1-3 etc....what did that show "Twist of the Throttle" state??? Ducati builds 1 bike to Honda's every 40 thousand!! just stupifying!!!! How do they do it????.
This makes owning a Ducati very satisfying and exciting IMO! If there is two thing's I would like to do in life, go to Normandy, France then the Ducati Museum in Italy. What a trip in deed....Oh and meet Sean Cork of Ducati Performance customer relations...while I'm over there! Great guy!

Yeah, Ducati's breaks because they're small and have a different style of bike don't help them at all either
habla english compadre?Yeah, Ducati's breaks because they're small and have a different style of bike don't help them at all either
lolI wasn't awake yet
Basically in WSB and most racing the Ducs are given an advantage in displacement/weight. Granted they are still enthusiasts through and through, of course fools like all of us on here spending a lot for the bikes helps pay the bills too. But in a lot of cases they have and advantage over the much bigger companies.

Of course they have a displacement advantage, but they aren't necessarily faster in a straight line than the 1000cc bikes like the suzuki or the aprilia. They also have restrictors to limit their power. Not only that, but you can argue that the liter bikes have an unfair cylinder advantageI wasn't awake yet
