World Superbike

I love this shit. 10 times better than the few AMA races I've seen. Better than MotoGP, imho. I've got the first 3 rounds from this season downloaded on my computer now. I'm watching round 2 race 1 right now. Watched both of the Valencia races earlier today. Probably watching Qatar race 2 after this.

I like motorcycle racing, but WSBK has given Ducati way too many concessions throughout the years- I'm not interested in watching the Ducati Cup. I'm a big fan of level playing fields with minimal restrictions.

Still, I'd watch the races if they were ever on TV.

They typically show race one, but not race two. I'm watching Qatar race 2 now. Didn't get to it last night.

Its more competitive than MotoGP in my opinion, closer races at least. It seems like every time in MotoGP, they all get really spread out and there aren't many close races at all.

Spoiler in Qatar race 1 as an example.

I've become a bigger fan of WSBK this year, it's cool to see a fellow Texan repping on the world stage on a Yamaha. I know Colin does too in GP, but I'm sorry to say I don't see him gaining ground anymore. He's had his time.

However Spies looks promising as ever.(except when he runs off the course lol)

or crashes out. He is a damn good rider though. Especially when you consider the fact that he hasn't run most of these tracks before.

Spoiler: In Qatar Race 1, haga, biaggi, and spies were all three right together as 1, 2 and 3 till pretty much the end, Spies kinda ran off and finished like 2-3 seconds up, but biaggi and haga were fighting for 2 till the last second.
