    WSBK Race 2 (spoiler)

    I finally got around to watching race 2 at Phillip Island, and holy cow what a ride by Biaggi! That is one of the most impressive performances I have seen in quite a while. To come from last to end up in second is pretty amazing. And Johnny Rhea was doing an amazing job on a shot rear tire at the end.

    And a 5th by Haslam on a broken leg was also pretty impressive.

    He had a hell of ride. And his bike looked like it was a league above the others on the power front. To see him blow by the Kawi's and the Beemer's on the straight was impressive.

    Helluva a race for sure. Biaggi rode his ass off. It's going to be a good season!

    I have to agree. Max rode an absolutely AMAZING race, one of the best I've EVER seen! From dead last, and probably 4 sec back behind even the last guy, to battle thru the field like that, preserve his tires(!) and come back to second? WOW! In fact, I think if the race had been longer, he'd have challenged and probably beat Checa for the win!
