Nicky scored his first ever podium in WSBK today in Assen. |

Yeh he played it smart. Just follow the leaders around until they crash out. |

Max Biaggi said it best (and I think he was quoting someone else) when he said: "In order to finish first, first you must finish!" |

EBR's new race slogan.- "We go racing with the bikes we sell. We don't sell knock off replicas of the race bikes." |

My Direct TV channel 620 BEIN sports is blank no programing at all. Called Direct TV and was told that BEIN 620 was blacked out to them and they had no idea what to do about it. That SUCKS!!!!! no motorcycle racing |

There's a national anthem we haven't heard played in a VERY long time in international motorcycle racing... |

Very happy for Nicky ! He will be fighting for the win in Laguna ! When is the new CBR released ? Clearly Chaz Davies is not the rider to give Ducati a title, ..... He should have finished ahead of Rea in these 2 races ... Clearly Rea had a "average" weekend for his standards , and yet Davies finished behind him in both races..... Especially in the wet, where hp is not so important, Guigliano did a much better job ...... (Message edited by vagelis46 on May 16, 2016) |

There were those who predicted his first win would come at Laguna Seca, so this is wonderful. Can't wait to see how he does at his "home track." |

I just wonder how he'd do if his bike was more competitive. |

Nicky is just one NOS sticker's worth of horsepower away from more dry weather podiums. One NOS sticker is 20 horsepower, right? |

He must have been listening to old Toby Keith before the race "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was" In all seriousness I hope this is just of preview of whats to come. |

PATA Yamaha FINALLY got smart and called up Cameron Beaubier to replace the injured Sylvain Guintoli. Let's hope Cam makes us proud! |

<sigh> Don't know if Cameron did American riders any favors or not this weekend. He did just about as well as Lowes and Guintoli have done this season so it is probably the bike and NOT the rider... |

OTOH, PJ Jacobsen has been doing an OUTSTANDING job of representing the US! |

Hmm I would have thought he'd do better. Freakin Bein isnt covering anything yet. Those whores. God how I miss speedvision. |

I found this interesting: Cameron Beaubier's fastest time in MotoAmerica practice would've put him right between the two Yamaha riders in WSBK, between 9th and 10th on the WSBK grid. |

Not a GREAT day for Nicky, but certainly not a bad one either. |

Yeh he did a pretty good job keeping Brookes at bay and when van der Mark flung himself into that last corner....that was hilarious. |
