WOW. Zemke pushing the front from about the halfway point; Yates sliding both ends trying to keep in front of Miguel. Exciting racing!

Yea, Jake was really pushing at the end there. I've really been impressed by him this year.

Good to see E Boz on top again, but my gut tells me that it won't happen agian this year.

Re: AMA Superbike @ Pikes Peak *Spoiler*

I feel so bad for Jake...he's riding very well and is the most consitent guy this year. He's led the most laps this season and has yet to pull out a win. I have been following Jake for quite some time now and I think this year he's riding his best ever. Only 19 points down from Mladin so there's still hope. All in all I think that AMA Superbike this year has been some of the best racing on TV so far. I too am glad to see E-Boz back on top, it's just what he needs to turn his season around.

Dano

Re: AMA Superbike @ Pikes Peak *Spoiler*

I remember another racer who was always finishing 2nd behind Troy Bayliss - and he seems to have worked it out.

Jake is doing great and while I root for him to finish on top of the box, I don't feel too bad for him considering his standings in the point chase.

Yates is the man - where are the haters today!?! I can't believe how hard he was working that bike and riding around his shagged tires.. good stuff and another reason he's one of my favorite AMA riders. Jake spinning it up was cool too - don't see that very often from him.

IMO best AMA SB and SSport races of the season - though the Barber SSport looked good - not that we'd know... speed... sigh

Don't get me wrong I like to watch the AMA boys dice it up but that track seems to be just another Daytona IMO. All lefts, just like NASCAR.

Glad we can see that on SPEED here in the states... oh wait. There's a 12-hour block of Nascar programming coming up! Never mind.

I think Eric will do well at Road America too. The Duc will be able to stretch its legs.

Nope on the speed thing but I know how the races were (hence the avatar)

I'm going to agree for the win Alex!!! BSB this year has been a crap shot as to who is going to win. Which rider, which manufacturer, etc.. Having said that

The AMA this year has produced some great ones. Unfortuantly they have been at the expence of Jake. He's got to be frustrated to no end...

I definitely thought that the Supersport race from earlier in the day was the better of the two.

Nobody has mentioned the incredible run that Josh Hayes had!!!!
