Biaggi got some very good points with Checa's miscue, and I feel badly for Smrtz, Badovini, and especially Haslam. Ah well, that's racing!

On another note, I just happened to catch the first AMA race......WOW! Blake Young is da MAN! To come back from getting crashed by Hayes (unintentionally) to win it after the red flag restart??? Amazing ride.
damnit I only caught the end of ama race 1, still have 2 on DVR.

I love wet races because it gives the lower funded teams a chance to prove themselves. All you have to do in a wet race is maintain 10th place, and by the end you're almost guaranteed a podium
