Biaggi

Biaggi on the Aprilia scored his first win of the season in race one at Brno, It was also Aprilia’s first win in the category since 2001, Biaggi cruised to finish line after Spies and Fabrizio were eliminated when Fabrizio crashed taking down Spies down with him, Troy Corser on the S1000RR led the opening two laps, while Xaus on the same bike crashed out on the first lap.

In race two Spies led towards his eleventh win of the season, but it wasn’t easy as he had to keep Biaggi at bay, Biaggi took second, third went to Fabrizio.

The second race of the World Super Bike championship -Misano round-was a fierce fight between the young -22 years- English rider Jonathan Rea and Fabrizio, after a couple of spectacular laps and just when we thought Fabrizio and Haga will eat Rea alive and claim the title of this race.. Rea manages to slip away to the podium.

Ducati is still leading the WSBK, the points as follows:

Haga 292 points

Spies 244 points

Fabrizio 237 points

Race one was a bore and as expected Spies came 1st, Byrne 2nd , and Fabrizio 3rd.

Another double win for Spies

Spies

Spies powered away from the start, and the rest of the racers had to just try keeping up, Fabrizio managed to keep Spies on his toe for most of the race, but then had to settle for third in race one and second in race two…at the end of the day this is a US track which Spies knows very well and competed on for the American Superbike championship.

Ducati is still leading the championship -7 rounds to go-, with 311 points, Yamaha 253, Honda 206, Aprilia 129, Suzuki 113, Bmw 60, and Kawasaki 41 points.

Make that a double please

haga

Dominating race one and two, Haga made the perfect weekend for Ducati, Fabrizio was the tail man and made a couple of nice passes on Haga, but the Japanese came back just to clinch his sixth win of the season..apart from the last 2 rounds race 2 was a bit boring without Ben Spies of  Yamaha pressure on team Ducati, the Texan had to retire after gear problems.

Intense action from Monza

Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) and Ben Spies (Yamaha World Superbike) shared the wins at one of the most exciting Superbike rounds in Monza today.

Fabrizio won race 1 after Spies ran out of fuel meters from the finish line…in race 2 Spies dominated from start to finish and after a few laps cruised alone to the checker flag.

Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) crashed in race 2 after being hit by a bird, BMW Ruben Xaus finished in ninth place.

WSBK rookie Ben Spies also know as Mr.Elbows due to his riding style where his elbows frequently touch the ground when making sharp turns, is giving the god fathers of the WSBK a run for the pole positions.

Mr.Elbowz dominated the two WSBK qualifying sessions at Losail Circuit in Qatar, he lapped the 5.380 km circuit in 1 minute 57.280 seconds, Jakub Smrz on the 1098R came second, a fraction of a second behind Spies, and ahead of Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) in third. The race is taking place tomorrow, and am very anxious  to see if  the big boys will let rookies set foot on the podium.

A sweet start

The start of the  09 World Super Bike season was full of surprises, BMW Motorrad Motorsport team scored the fastest lap in race one at  Phillip Island with their new bike the S 1000 RR.

BMW may have a long history in racing but they are rookies when to comes to the Superbike World Championship, and they will be facing tough competition from the manufacturers that has been racing the WSBK since 1988.
