Mr.Elbowz

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.
09 MotoGP
The first race of the 09 MotoGP race will take place on April 12 at Losail Circuit in Qatar, riders started their 2 day testing session yesterday, but the weather was awful something like what we had in Kuwait a few days back…at the first day some of the riders did not even bother to enter the track.
The uniqueness of Losail is that its the only circuit that hosts’ a night race, which is really nice to watch… especially if you are watching it on TV where cameras zoom in at the riders and you get to see the expressions on their faces.
Hope the weather will be fine by April.
