Tbh Im not sure, going by the frst two races it could be anybodies. haga looking hot though

Maholli · 03-02-2009, 5:08 PM

IM not sure either but I agree Haga looked good...

madkaw · 03-02-2009, 5:09 PM

I think Haga's gunna take it. In race 1 he looked like he had that Duc dialed in perfect. Hardly ever got squirrely on him throughout the race. I'm hoping Corser at least makes it in the top five with the Beemer now in the mix. And Spies...well, I have high hopes for him too but I honestly think that unless he gets a good jump out of the box at every race he's going to struggle getting towards the front of the pack. I just don't think the big doggies are going to play nice with him.

Jetpilot07 · 03-02-2009, 5:10 PM

i'm pulling for J. Rea, he's been consistent in the past, but i hope he'll pull it off....ducatis doing well already

ridelikeaturtle · 03-02-2009, 6:26 PM

Hoping for Rea, but Haga's a longtime favorite and to me it's his time. Spies looks like the real deal, and it's good to see an American mixing it up in WSBK.

There's so many big names, it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch.

Jetpilot07 · 03-02-2009, 10:00 PM

very true

Sentimentally yes for Rea but for me, more for Eugene Lafferty, only wishful thinking though lol. Would be great to see an Irishman up there, fingers crossed

Hopefully all the big guys will fight it to the last race

jkobflys · 03-03-2009, 2:58 AM

Haga looked really good, and Spies is damm fast,
I'm going Spies all the way!!!
Superpole and a victory in his first ever SBK race....
verry impresed.

CoolJoker197 · 03-03-2009, 4:08 AM

saw the first race on SPEED, and or course cursed a lot after Spies' going off track, only to see him make up like ten places before the race ended. i was yelling HAGA HAGA at the TV on the final few laps, and i was very happy to find the results on the 2nd race that i didn't get to see cause i had to go to work.

i was pleased with Corser's work in the first race, but i have yet to find out what happened on the second race. i would like to see BMW become a major player if at all possible.

Mikeo · 03-04-2009, 10:44 AM

I'll go with Spies, the kid is fast.

Now in WSS, it's anybody's year, but I like Ant West, he finished third, but only because he was really down on power.

How great would that be setanta, would be awesome to get some Irish fellas out there and winning.

However in reality...
WSB....Noriyuki Haga
WSS....Keenan Sofuoglu

Its early doors yet but a cracking season hopefully ahead.

Il 2nd that.

CoolJoker197 · 03-09-2009, 5:04 AM

i'm expectin WSBK being 1. Spies, 2. Haga, 3. too close to call....maybe Neukirchner.

can't wait for motoGP and AMA superbike to get back in the groove

fighter954rr · 03-09-2009, 6:15 AM

does anyone know what time the quatar race starts on saturday? oh and i would have to say i think haga has a good shot, even though he's not my favourite!!

he didn't win in his first race. Second race he won.

favorite part of the second race was that one pass Haga made on Spies where it looked like Spies was parked

that was classic. but Spies did take the win so he had the last laugh in the race.

not looking forward to GP this year all that much. and AMA I just can't foresee watching it unless it just happens to be on when I'm flipping through the channels.

HAGA all the way, its his year and he's got the bike to do it.. Spies will take second though.

setanta · 03-10-2009, 7:49 AM

My only concern about Haga is that he pushes it a little to far, he dosnt seem to know fear, really hope Im wrong though

fighter954rr · 03-10-2009, 8:14 AM

yeah he's definately a bit of a loon... but thats what makes him fun to watch

I think you hit the nail on the head. But if you watch some of him from last year compared to this year you see the Duc is a little better suited to his riding. He always had the R1 out of shape last year, made for a lot of cringe moments. The Duc seemed to take it all in stride never getting out of shape in the races so far.

that's why I'm a fan. anyone who can get on any bike and almost immediately ride it to 150% of the bikes capability deserves some respect in my book.

he's looking poised to take another win or 2 this weekend too. I guess no one told him he's a rookie with no experience on these tracks.

jkobflys · 03-13-2009, 5:48 PM

No biggie cbr 929re

Bucko@buck88.ka · 03-13-2009, 6:54 PM

Without doubt Spies is a very talented rider and he may well get the double but i'm a Brit and as much as i like Haslam i'm gunna go with Sykes not because i think he'll win but because i think he'll enjoy it more than any other rider out there ! The boy just don't stop smiling

kermit-81 · 03-13-2009, 7:42 PM
