Spoiler - Portugal. And the Winner Is.....

Not CEII

Results

It was a snoozer. Except Biaggi crashing and knocking Loris Cap. out of contention. Way to go Hopper He was riding like he wants a job next year!

I guess the chatter that Tamada fought through wasn't the same or as bad as Colin's. Sorry Texas Tornado... you gotta back it up bro.... Hopper smoked you on a arguably inferior machine by almost 10 seconds. Can't wait to hear Booth on this one

Not many highlights from this show folks, just Rossi doing his thing and no-one able to touch him.

Finally ended up seeing the rest of the race, and agree. Definate snoozer.

Looking forward to the next track, being Honda owned and all...

Re: Spoiler - Portugal. And the Winner Is.....

Who do you think was at fault for the biaggi-capirossi collision? I couldn't tell, I kinda though Capirossi cut him off

I'm not a biaggi fan, but it kinda sucks that he crashed, I would have wanted to see a closer points fight toward the end of the championship.

I like Hopper, he was faster than KRjr last year at many, many tracks. Suzuki has finally started improving the bike and Hopper is riding well. I think he'll do great things in the future, he just needs to get a better machine underneath him.

CE screwed the pooch today, Tamada was on one of his streaks (he needs to do it consitently), Barros is fighting for his job, and the Doctor was brilliant. I could have sworn, with the edge he had today, that he was on the RCV again. To do that, on that bike, **** me that guy is probably the best guy I'll ever get to see ride a bike.

I agree with you analysis 100% Barros needs to go bye bye (time to pack it in which I think they mentioned during the race). Hopper has good talent just not a good bike... CE just dug himself a little deeper into the RCV nightmare that has been his season....What can you say about tamada but damn he can ride when he wants to.... And last Rossi **** can that guy ride. I bet you can put him on just about any bike and he would win, the guy has some serious talent

From the replay's I gotta go with Biaggi t-boning Capirossi. You can clearly see the rest of the field begin to turn in and Biaggi still going straight, crap he even did a stoppie. I'm not saying this because I don't like Max, I just think that was the way it happend.... watch the replay.

Booth - I agree, Rossi is just in another league. I will never forget his race against the 10sec deduction to win by 20 secs. He is incredible and what-ever he rides will win. And yes Tamada has to be consistant, he never has been and is only begining to hint at potential. Barros, Only man to beat Rossi on the RCV when the satellite teams got them at the end of the 2002 Season and now can't get it going.

Only thing I've read about CEII was his quote on Soup, "Chatter, Chatter, Chatter....." I like him, I really do and I had such high hopes, and I want to like him, but he's just starting to too much. Remember Tamada got two podiums last year on the worst Honda in the grid and finished like 7th overall. Five more races, let's see if he (CEII) can pull it off.

Re: Spoiler - Portugal. And the Winner Is.....

yeah that was some boring racing but the WSBK was pretty decent, all 5 guys in points all together at the end. I wanna see Vermuellen win but thats mostly because I love his bike and want to steal it (I haven't watched much besides the AMA this year for some reason, seems like whenever I look for motorcycle racing on tv thats all I find. but yesterday was good with 250gp then motogp then ama superbike then world superbike. I was glued to the tv all day and it was really nice out and I shoulda been riding myself)

nah you can clearly see that he's not set up for the corner. His front wheel is completely the oppisite of where he needs to go. That isn't counter sterring, that's going in too hot, Capirossi tightening up his line and Biaggi unable to correct it in time.

Even look at Tamada who is about a bike length behind him, is already leaned over and turning. Max just went in too hot.

And that's too bad. I really think that it would've been a closer (read more exiting) race had Max not screwed up so early in the race.

I agree. Whining is infectious. I think Colin has caused himself a bunch of problems with his complaining. He's convinced himself he should not be winning.

Agreed 100%.....when you think life sucks, bitch to your old lady, kick your gear around...confide in your dog whatever.....but NEVER cry out loud in public about your problems....that's what your family and closest friends are for....

Edit:
As far as causing himself problems by whining, I have said all along that is why he didn't get the nod for the Repsol job to begin with....
