I have been watching motorcycle racing for 36 years but I was still amazed at
how quickly they were changing up gears. Coming out of MG they were in first
and by the time they started leaning over for the left hand sweeper they were
in 4th. Thats three gear changes in a VERY short amount of time.
Good to see the sidecars back. Some of them sounded awsome.
The Suzuki SBK bikes sounded like they were doing a million mile per hour but
were as slow as a wet week, same as in the game.
Great racing and a brilliant weekend. .005 of a second win.....awsome.
