*SPOILER* WSBK Magny-Cours
Wow! What a great, competitive race (race one), between four guys start to finish. Four different manufacturers too. Amazing how close they were to touching so many times at very high speeds .

The season started and finished great, although the center portion was a little flat. Hopefully next year will be competitive start to finish, with Bayliss, Barros, Toseland, Haga, Corser, Biaggi, Edwards and the like...

It's one of the few races I've been able to actually watch this year and it was great to see it be competitive instead of the AMA Spies/Mladin show.

Haga was rocking and I actually found myself rooting for him from about the halfway point of the race.

Amazing race 2! I think it is the best racing series bar none! I wish we had some of that in the AMA.

Oh and the announcers are 100 x better than our annoucers.

Cracking good race!

JT next year!

Race 2 was one of the most amazing races I've ever seen, in any series! Some of Bayliss' passes were unbelievable! I know the pressure of winning the championship was off, but he was absolutely going for it! That was fun to watch. They definitely saved the best for last!

Amazing stuff by Bayliss. What an amazing set of races. Apart from Mugello in MotoGP this year, these races were the best I've seen.

Yep. Istanbul in MotoGP this year was pretty darn good, too, but both of these races were classics. Pretty cool that it happened to primarily feature the '06, '05 and '04 champions the way it did.
