    Excellent ride from Corser and the Bimmer, I may have to eat my words (from somewhere else earlier on this forum), but maybe they might win one this year?

    Monza is a possibility, not as technical as many others, and with a good rider a bike can give a good showing at this track.

    The last SBK race was the pick IMO, really good racing from elite riders. Well done the Rea kiddie, excellent racing.

    Great weekend for Rea, decent one for Haslam, and an absolute crap weekend for Haga. I really wanted Corser to win on the BMW, but well, I guess the machine is not there yet.

    What I don't understand is how the Xerox Ducati team went from championship contenders last year to being midfielders in 2010, while Smrz and Checa on privateer Ducatis are doing mighty fine. It's very confusing. Does anybody here know if it's the bike, maybe the '10 spec 1098 has big issues or if they're having setup problems?

    Maybe the team is suffering from lossofTardozzi syndrome.

    Yeah, I read about the engine vibrations, but that was only in Assen. I'm talking about this season, the previous races, the Xerox Ducatis were not in their familiar place, which is closer to the front. They obviously have some major problems, especially in qualifying. Haga should have done a comfortable double at Valencia, given his past record at that track, and he barely won race two.

    Loss of Tardozzi it could be, but it's strange how the loss of a manager can affect the performance of the bike. This means he really knows a thing or two about running a team.

    Two excellent superbike races and a decent enough supersport event - a great day's racing (not to mention for my fantasy league team with a double win!)

    Hard to pin what's going on at Xerox Ducati. I'd be highly suprised if it was just due to Tardozzi's move - while he is an ex-rider he wasn't involved with setting up the bikes in his role as a team manager. Whilst they've both looked a bit off-colour for some of the time they've also both won races, and aside from last year Haga's traditionally a slow starter to the season.

    I'd say it's down to a number of factors - Aprilia are more prepared with a season back under their belt and a competitive second rider, the Haslam/Suzuki combination is working like a dream (Neukirchner was on form last year til a bike hit him at Monza let's not forget, Francis Batta knows what he's doing), Jonathan Rea is no longer a rookie and is a full-on contender, Toseland looks pretty fired up on that Yamaha, and Checa's Ducati is going very well. Whilst there's no Spies, you've got to think that enough other threats are now in town that Ducati probably don't quite know where their main opposition is coming from, and that's left them in bother. Nori must also have thought that last year was his best chance to get that long-deserved title and is probably feeling pretty deflated - maybe he'll sadly always be the bridesmaid.
