i think haga and biaggi are scratching their head on what is going to happen to them this year!

 

[HillbillyTom]

I still say he's going to be the 2009 WSBK champion. Haga will be close, but I don't think he'll be able to do it.

NOTICE: WSBK, race 1 is on SPEED at 3:00pm CENTRAL TIME >TOMORROW< (Saturday)
Race 2 is at 4:00pm CENTRAL..

[DaCol.]

Anyone know if this is being run in the day or night over there ???

 

[bigoltool]

I beleive the WSBK race is still run in Daylight. I am glad Speed took note of their misguided attempt to cover the Philip Island Race and are now going to show the races at least same day!! Progress!

Now about that AMA/DMG horror show...
