Got round to watching the races last night.

One shouldn't draw conclusions from a single race, but it looks like
Suzuki are definitely back in the game, and have two strong riders
with Haslam and Guintoli.

Three crashes from the two returning MotoGP boys (2 from Vermuelen on
the Kawasaki & 1 from Toseland on the Yamaha) was not an impressive
start from them.

And Toseland's performance on the Yamaha gives and indication as to
just how good Spies was last year, imo.

Not making excuses for him, but I think Crutchlow, Toseland and the team
made way too many mistakes. Not least was an extra 10hp, -10Kg (or
whatever) and insufficient testing to get the traction control right
with the effect of the changes. Flying replacement seat units out
between the test and race to try and get rid of chatter is the sort of
thing BMW did, not Yamaha.

Good racing though wasn't it. Though marred by a surprising number of
crashes that all affected the racing in some way. Xaus taking out Haga
on the way into Doohan's. Shakey Byrne de-tuning himself.

What's good for the year is just how close everyone is. There's a lot of
people who will have at least one good circuit or race day. This weekend
was definitely Haslam, Guintoli, Suzuki's and Checa's. It's not at all
clear to me that they'll manage this every weekend. We'll see.

Odd to see Biaggi (and Camier) have mixed confidence in the front end.
Some times both of them would absolutely rail into the corners. At other
times both of them bottled out and ran wide or off the track.

Was this on Speed Channel in the USA? My Tivo Season Pass did not pick
it up, and I cannot find any schedule for WSB for Speed.

Thanks.

Yes. My season pass didn't pick it up either. I had to start a new
one. It was on last week at 2:00 and 3:00 central standard time.
