WSB

Will Toseland snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

It's a fine old British Sporting tradition, after all.

Aye, the pendulum seems to be going the wrong way.

Maybe, but a 29 point lead with 50 on the table really ought to be
enough.

Yes, that's a BIG lead going into the last round. He can finish right
behind Biaggi in the first race and as long as Max doesn't win, it's
over. Toes can crash out of the first race and Max can win, and it still
comes down to the same thing. Now that it's Max in 2nd, overtaking Haga
at the end of race one doesn't matter quite so much. I hope that it does
go down to the last race, though.

Race two yesterday was a little dull, but race one was pretty amazing.
I've never seen so many hard passing manoeuvres! I'm not a advocate
of "rubbing is racing", but those guys were riding so hard and close
at the front.

Yeah, it was really good, one of the few WSB races I've seen this year
that really held my attention all the way. But I can't help but feel
that it was the tires that was making much of the fight, the way they
they were sliding and wobbling around. That circuit was part of the
issue and the heat as well, but it still feels like the bikes and riders
are better than the tires...
