I thought the racing from Aragon was pretty good even if it's just me watching it! Qualifying in particular was quite entertaining. Badovini impressed as did Fores as Chaz's teammate.
It's Assen this weekend and EBR have apparently folded although Pegram claims the race team will continue. We'll see. |

the racing was goodish at Aragon ..
Davies gives Ducati first with with Panigale .. many to follow? should be good at Assen SuperSport .. crap again for Cluzel, important to finish and now Sofuoglu has a 30 points advantage bring on Assen. |

Great racing at Assen. Green Rea i the best Rea. VDM looked like he had the fastest bike out there, amazing talent.

I didn't think Kenan did anything over the top in the Supersport race, Cluzel's reaction is more from frustration than anything else I would think. |

Cluzel should know that Kenan is a hard racer, always has been. Frustration on his behalf for sure...
Dunno why Suzuki signed RdP, his season is embarrassing & Lowes has gotta stop crashing too! Rea is smashing them! |

Jonny Rea has killed this years championship, 8 wins in 10 races - he sure can ride the Kwaka...
Supersport needs Suzuki & Yamaha factory team too! |

It fits him like a glove and he's pulverising the opposition. Here's hoping that the other Brits can make things interesting for him at Donington. I might pop along to watch qualifying.

Anyway, the save from Rea in superbike race 2 was something else! I shut my eyes expecting a monumental high-side. Phew. |

The Thai thing was somehting to do with his misuss apparently!
Ryde is top drawer and has been for some time, he was mustard on a 125 and should be in Moto2 at the very least next year. Or maybe a WSS ride, certainly a better bet than His namesake Smith who just seems to crash his way through every session. |

Stunning weekend from Ryde, old head on young shoulders. The kid is special

Ryde was spectacular, this was the first time I had heard of him. I hope he goes places. We have seen a few wild card riders impress on home tracks though and somehow underwhelm when they get a full season. Whatever happened to Mahais for example or Marino? I was expecting big things from these two. |

Portimao has come and gone; the supersport fight between Cluzel and Kenan was nail biting stuff. The Superstock 1000 race was also a corker. Sykes' gamble in superbike race 1 almost worked, almost.
In other news... http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2015...m+part+company I hope Leon runs rings around this bloke who is making a comeback for a couple of races, it wouldn't be good if the old man beats him. Is this the management putting pressure on the current riders? http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2015...ano+and+Sepang |

But I don't believe Biaggi will do much. He's old and out of racing for more than two years. I expect similar results to the Troy Bayliss' ones. Top 10 would be a success IMHO. On the other hand Sepang really suits the RSV4, so anything can happen... |

With Terol & Althea parting way, maybe Suzuki & de Puniet should do the same thing
I was surprised when Haslam got the Aprilia ride as he was nowhere on the Honda for 2 years - probably should have been given the boot from WSBK. Saying that, he has been pretty good this year & I reckon if they had of signed Jonny Rea they would probably be leading the championship! Ducati should run a 3rd bike for Bayliss in those 2 races that Biaggi enters |

De Puniet's been a total failure from the start. It's difficult to judge how good a job Alex Lowes is doing when his teammate is so far off. I know Suzuki wanted to pay back RDP for testing their MotoGP bike but enough is enough now

Expect a few fireworks and maybe a few handbags too!
