WSBK - Phillip Island - SPOILER

[Randy]

Poor, poor, Max. Could have comfortably limped home with decent finishes after an unfortunate incident in qualifying put him on the 4th row. But, instead, he steps on his pecker and mangles 2 bikes. dork.

If you were looking for battles for the lead, beyond the opening laps, there was nothing to see - Bayliss rocked, as expected.

Race 1 start was an absolute clusterfuck - was like a reincarnation of Scott Russell at Daytona (also, keep watching to see what happens after they throw the red flag - about 1:23) .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvrhxoQXHDA

Lucky he only stepped on his pecker!

Luck he only stepped on his pecker!

yep...another 18 inches to the left and that would have been one bloody Max-i pad.

Turns out Max broke his wrist. The way he slid under that flipping bike, he's pretty freaking lucky that's all that's in a cast.

I thought the dicing behind Bayliss in race 1 was awesome. It seems there's a more aggressive Corser than we saw last year.

First Nori and now Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax! That was one hell of a get off, are we going to see a bonehead move of the race every week?

All good fun eh? Max is deffinitely on a do or die mission, he looks scary generally. I doubt very much that he will beat Baylistic even if he stays on.

Some of the worst crashes are on the start line. That guy came from the back of the grid and had his head down, he must have been doing 60+ at impact. There was a 14 yr old killed called Chris Jones on a 125 three years ago in a start line crash in the Brit championship.

Yes good to see Corser with the bit between his teeth.

Had a funny experience last year at a BSB round. We were stood chatting outside the awning of a rider friend of ours. This guy wanders past with big shades on and dressed casually. Bloody hell someone said.... a Troy Corser look-a-like. We all commented on how much he looked like the guy. We found out later he had been at the meeting. The shades did the trick.

I just watched my recording today, so I was a bit behind.

Rough start in race 1. Gotta feel for that back-row guy that broke his arm.

The Supersport race ROCKED!!!!! Triumph even up to 4th at one point, after running faster than the leaders to come up from way back.
