and does it in style

Mat Mladin; 1st place, Daytona 200

Hey, I had to miss the middle part...what happened to Miguel? Seemed to be a good duel there...had to drive home...caught the end...no Miguel.

I wonder how awesome that new GSX-R 1000 is gonna be...

Miguel laid it down(they didnt have it on video feed) coming out of the bank near the cones, and the handlebar broke off.
He rode the crippled bike back to the pits, but it wasn't a quick fix, so he threw his gloves and went to his trailer.

Glad to see another Miguel fan out there.

Were they just using the oval or did they also include the infield?

 

[SirFshAlot]

infield, too

and it was 57 laps, so they even had pit stops

 

[ajskydiver]

Miguel seems to have had some problems @ Daytona the last 4-5 years...

I normally go every year but couldn't make it this year...he's yet to finish a Superbike race (although he usually kicks butt with the 600's) it seems!

 

[SirFshAlot]

I think Miguel's too old now to compete with the young fresh likes of the Haydens, et. al.
He's got experience going for him, but I think he's lost the reflexes.
He's seems to go down a lot.

But I'm glad he isn't throwing in the towel.

Well, DuHamel had his reflexes working well enough to win the 600 SuperSport race to day before besting all the young guns. Anyone know the condition of Aaron Yates?

Rob

 

[ajskydiver]

Yates is ok...everyone is fine from the mishaps except Russell--and he's just got a few broken bones.

I still can't figure out why Russell went Harley...I guess he got sick of winning so much.
