Forum Fantasy Motorcycling League 2008 - final standings posted

[Lanky_Wes]

Did not appear to be a particularly successful weekend for team Reynholm Industries Basement racing team at first with no riders finishing any higher than 5th place but the team still managed to move up the championship standings 7 places so am content with that. with a relatively inexperienced team i am expecting my riders to improve as the season progresses.

Yeah the top 4 are already pulling away. There is another close battle for 'best of the rest'.

Press Release - PN Corse

The team had a difficult weekend in Valencia, again following its early season form of strong pace but tendency to crash before the chequered flag. The team are absolutely gutted after a series of DNFs have left the squad languishing in 15th in the standings when they could easily be near the front.

Lead rider Nori Haga continued to struggle in qualifying and fell early in race one, despite a promising start leaving the team scratching their heads and PN Corse's manager drafting a regrettable sacking letter ready to issue. 'Second' rider Max Neukirchner took pole and led the entire race before becoming an unfortunate victim of Carlos Checa's error and to make matters worse, wound up with a broken collarbine. The team are distraught and hope he can be fit soon, although the 30+ points he was set to score will be sorely missed.

Young British Supersport star Graeme Gowland had another strong but unlucky ride, crashing from sixth place mid-way through. Again, a bunch of points were lost. David Checa put in two reasonable rides but gained just a single point all weekend in a tough field. Nori Haga finished the day with a morale-boosting win which may retain his place in PN Corse, but once again the possibility of much more was lost as the unlucky Neukirchner sat out race two.

btw is tommy hill still injured ?

Yep, he was in British Eurosport's studio.

Afraid it's not brilliant news - his recovery isn't going as well as expected and he may need another operation to lengthen the pin that's in his leg. The plan is apparently to be ready to return for the German round in June. I read that somewhere yesterday but now can't find the link.

So, unfortunately the few of you with him will probs be subbing him out before he's even appeared. Such a shame after he'd finally made the change from Yamaha in BSB to the world stage which could get him noticed when he's fit.
