And what a ride by Toseland. I'm personally pulling for him to finish top 3 in the championship. It's a rookie/learning year for him so that would be one of the most incredible accomplishments of his career. Even more than winning 2 WSBK championships. I actually want JT to win it all, but I don't really see that happening on inferior equipment.

 

[gtrpimp76]

Oh yeah! and WTF is up with Lorenzo and his damn Lollipop??!!

Makes him look really adolescent, although he's not too far from it. I'm starting to think it's a gimmick too.

 

[BA BUSA]

my riders for this week finished top 3!! But I did lose one due to DNF: Colin Edwards. Crap!! I wish I rested him and raced Hayden. Oh well...on to Estoril!!

Top three...not bad

I got the top SIX...AGAIN

 

[BA BUSA]

I actually rested him this race...guess I picked a good time since he ran off track 2 times.

For sure dude!  

 That would've been bad.


Just looking at the final results, if I would've raced Nicky instead of Colin, I would've pulled a BA Busa: all 6 riders finishing top 6. I just missed that mark!! Pedro was unreal today!

Hayden finished 7th...I'm the only one that can pick 6 out of 6

 

[gtrpimp76]

No he didn't. He finished 4th.

did you still get 6 out of 6?

 

[Charlesbusa]

Nope, Rich is smoking crack, Nicky finished 4th and he rested him  

Me on the other hand  

5 out 6 in the top 6.

If I had rested Dovizioso instead of Capirossi, I'd have had 6 out of the top 6!

AND I RESTED STONER!!!

 

[Charlesbusa]

Nicky had a big moment when challenging for 3rd with something like 5 laps to go!!

Very lucky to save it and bring it back in 4th.

If he hadn't made the mistake, he could have had 2nd or 3rd.  He was closing on Rossi and Lorenzo big time.

Nicky looks in good shape, now its time for to win a couple races.  Say like Laguna and Indy!!!!!!


And Honda will test the pneumatic valve engine after the Estoril race and possibly run it in China!!

 

[DaCol.]

What happened to de Puniet

 

[BA BUSA]

No he didn't. He finished 4th.

I was looking at the wrong page for the race results.

[MC MUSTANG]

Yeah? Well I rested Rossi AND Hayden...

What a week to make a bad managment call!

 

[Charlesbusa]

Yes I did, but I will say this for Jerez.
Dani rode his tail off, the whole race! Colin crashing out? Wow. Toseland, flu and al till rode well. Vale? Never could catch up... but if he had started higher in the grid? And NICKY! Nice riding Kid!

It was a great race to watch!

 

[BlueHaya]

I agree this race was entertaining.

How about the highlights from the Red Bull race...man wild.

 

[saygbye]

thanks for the pass cbusa. i'll get my shiznit together for the next race. these board tests are making me nuts. i didnt do so great anywho. only had 3 in top 6

this race was definetly better than the 1st one. even though that a** pedrosa ran off with it. i like the banging. stoner got cut off, edwards went down, & the "old man" caparossi in top 5, sweet. glad to see nicky get his stuff together also. the only problem was the u of m was spanking texas at the same time so i had to flip back and forth.

the 250's were awesome.

Hmmmmm


Strategy...

Do I take a chance or play it safe??

BA BUSA hasn't rested any of his A riders, so he's no threat

Unless...

And one of the "low" 4 might take a shot in the dark to close the gap....


hmmmmm
