So Haga finished up 6th in Superpole. Can he genuinely do anything come race time? He's been the slowest Ducati in the field the majority of the weekend. In a small article of the latest Australian Motorcycle News magazine, he admitted that he rides with fear these days and doesn't have the bravery to push like the young guys anymore. I miss you Old Haga.

Checa proves once again that he loves the Miller circuit and will be hard to beat. Biaggi and Haslam are close together to continue their championship battle and Jacub Smrz has had his strongest weekend I can remember. Love to see him podium or even steal a win!

Supersport qualifying appears the closest it's been for a while with the three usual suspects at the front. Hope they can produce a cracker like last years fight between Sofuoglu and Lascorz.

Terrible luck for Carlos Checa....he should have won both races, Biaggi rode like the star he is as did Camier, Haga awakes and puts in a good performance and Corser gets out of the box like his bum's on fire and puts in a stellar ride. Crutchlow good in race 2 in which James Toseland pushed too hard and dropped it. Smrz and Fabrizio had bad days.

The performance of Smrž was not that bad and he couldn't do anything when the Ducati had a mechanical problem in both races, just like Checa. Luca Scassa drove to a top 10 position in both races which is really good for him.

Now it is sure that the championship will be between Biaggi and Haslam. I really hope Haslam can win it, but it is with 6 weekends to go still a long way to go.

In WSS, Gino Rea was again faster than his much more experienced teammate Roccoli. Well done by the British rider again.

Truly awful races though and a track that might be safe but has the character of a wardrobe!!

I cant imagine eben holding the race on a holiday attracted many mre people, its like having a race on the moon

Cmon USa surely you can do better!

Another double win for Biaggi. Being busy with cars lately, have been so long absent from riding bike... This year's performance of Biaggi greatly entices me to riding bike again. Seriously consider to trade off of it with a white bike. Hopefully within this year... and Alitalia Biaggi wins this season...
