ironically, this was the first time since like ever I watched a 'two wheeler' race.

And I thought these guys had 'balls' compared to the F1 drivers.

You know, in bike racing even light rain can heavily compromise security if they are on slicks. But for what I could see there was just some sporadic drizzle here and there. And delaying the start by what, 5 or 10 minutes didn't make any sense, as it clearly wasn't raining at the time, it only made things worse.

I really didn't expect a tough British rider like Rea to be the first to raise his hands. Guess what, Superstock 600 is on track know. It rained heavily in between races and there's clearly a thunderstorm coming. Reckless youth... :rolleyes:

Except in F1 you crash and it's no big deal, you get out, pat yourself off and walk away. Crash a bike, particularly a highside and you could break a bone very easily. Strange comment you made..

the comment might be strange, but why were the commentators then feeling the same way? I don't know much about the sport, I admit that, but then I would assume the commentators would 'help me' pointing out why it was so awfully dangerous.

I know it's Monza, and you don't want to crash there, but still, whenever I see a comment about F1 drivers being 'chickens' compared to the 'on two wheel' drivers, I assumed that in these conditions, where it looked dry for like the whole track, they would certainly start. Especially because some drivers seemed to disagree with the decision. AND the commentators.

Sorry if my comment offended some people.

Race 1 at Donington = Amazing
Why would anyone watch MotoGP when WSBK produces races like this.

Lenz Leberkern and Dirk Raudies at its best

That was WSBK back at it's best. Is Dirk Raudies commentating? I used to love watching him against all the Japanese riders in 125cc in the 90's.

Would love to see a video of that finish with the SPEED guys, Jonathan Green and Steve Martin commentating.

Jakub Smrz on pole at Miller, in fact he was fastest in every session. Would be good, if for once he will transfer his practice/qualy form to race day... but i predict a double DNF

All the non-Ducati riders pretty much struggling, except for Sykes and Rea. BMWs didn't even make it to SP3.

Looks like Eurosport decided to not show this live at all (international at least)... not much loss really. I mean why are they keep racing at Miller? There are so many great tracks in US, yet they race in this place, which is in a middle of nowhere, has as much atmosfere as Bahrain (zero) and i dont remember any good race there

race 1 is delayed, race 2 live.

They never have shown both races live before anyway
