PI Superbikes - **SPOILERS**

[_chado77]

man talk about a fanny hair of a finish

[Devilish]

Haslem was about 4 inches in front at over 200km/hr...

I am happy for anyone to beat Ducati :P haha

[Captain]

Awesome .. pity they didn't show Fabrizio's mrs face when she found out he didn't win :lmao:

[*Oggy*]

Wait till Gardner to tell Fabrizio where he went wrong...

Well done Lean and Ron....................

[stetto]

Sad to see such a small WSS grid, hopefully the racings just as good

[Devilish]

will they show the ozzy superbikes on fox?

[Dean93]

They probably won't show the ASBK but if you're interested, click on to Live timing on Computime (http://www.computime.com.au/) and you can see the laps by timing as they happen. Not very satisfying but....

haga hopes of challenging for victory at Phillip Island have taken a knock after a collision with Ruben Xaus during warm-up left his Ducati Xerox team working flat out to rebuild his bike.

Tangling at turn one, while both riders were unhurt in the incident, Haga's Ducati suffered considerable damage, prompting the Xerox team to begin a full rebuild with just two hours to go before the opening race of the day.

For Xaus, the fall marks his fourth of the weekend thus far and rumours circulating that he will not take part in the races due to a lack of confidence with the bike. Other reports suggest a shortage of spare parts will rule him out.

Haga will start from tenth position on the grid.

xaus the destroyer he trashes more bikes than anyone in the history of the sport how dose he keep his job in beyond me

[*Oggy*]

Great racing.. I know its a good one when ive was cheering for a Kawa, then a suzuki then a Duck .................

Albeit, the 600 , I had no real interest in, which is so sad........... RIP

[Marshy]

Yeah but there's no local racers in the 600s. I mean who are we supposed to be cheering for?

[Kat00]

The 2nd race was like a 125gp race, 3-4 could have won in the last couple of laps, will be a good season.

I like the new Mcgoo - tv chick team, much better than that other bloke. Mcgoo seems much more at ease too :ayyy:

[Lopeman]

Nah i liked David Murdoch. . . . . . dont really like it when they just ring in a good looking blond to talk about something she obviously doesnt understand. . . . .

[Foghorn]

Awesome .. pity they didn't show Fabrizio's mrs face when she found out he didn't win :lmao:

I believe it was buried in my lap

[Bigdog]

Great racing in the Superbikes. Good to see Suzuki competitive again as both bikes could have won the last race. It should be a ripper of a season. I hope CV is ok, it looked really nasty.

[SIX36]

Plenty of trumpies runny in the top 10 in WSS... That one pissing oil out like a water cannon made T1 interesting

Motorcyclist dies after collision on Phillip Island circuit
PAUL MILLAR March 1, 2010 - 4:37PM

A 72-year-old man died at Phillip Island this afternoon after his high powered bike collided with another bike during a public ride day at the race circuit.

The collision occurred around 12.50pm. Investigators believe the 72-year-old man, from interstate, was riding a Suzuki GSXR 600 around the track when he dropped the bike in turn two.
Another rider, a 50-year-old man from New South Wales then hit the fallen rider and his bike. The 72-year-old died at the scene but is yet to be formally identified.

Police and Worksafe officers are at the scene and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.

Very sad news indeed...

[stetto]

This is sad but wats this about? "Under the terms and conditions for the ride, the organisers recommended that all riders wear full leathers and those choosing not to wear the protective gear were restricted to 120km/h." I didnt no it was an option but u'd b stupid to try it

[Belinda]

I'd say its the media misreporting again

[Kwaka12r]

thats terrible for someone to die at a trackday
But its classic media. The authorities wont tell them what happened or the cause, so they quote a policy regarding danger and leave it all open ended. Classic tracey grimshaw bullshit.
i worked for a shipping company and we dealt with a ship that exported nuclear waste 3 ports after it visited Newcastle. They rang the office every 5 minutes and we kept telling them no comment, ring our media department. The newcastle herald publishes an article about toxic waste getting sneaked out of our country at night, and quoted the company name and made it seem all suss that we wouldnt tell them anything about the farm equipment it took to Port Kembla after it left Newcastle.

Posted a link up around 2pm but it was taken down? Wetty told me no more post like this are allowed?

Had a couple of mates riding there today and was told the news.
Not good at all.

[Marshy]

I dont think speed limiting is a valid way of covering off unsafe apparel. Who polices this, and how? Radar? Not likely. Also a speed limit isn't going to help you when you bin it in a turn. Nothing about not allowing open faced helmets either...

They also shouldn't have groups out there together where the speed differential is so great. You might have someone doing 250 overtaking someone speed-limited to 120, all while tipping into turn 1 in a crowd of people. That's unsafe in my book.

My $0.02

Is there a age limit on track days... i would be a little worried riding around a fast track with a 72 yr old on a 600 supersport bike...

[Stu23]

Great Weekends racing, how close was that...leon came round siberia and was looking at the big screen..he had no idea and we were waving our English flag like mad, taking a pasting from the locals on Siberia :) was good banter.. JT smashed his hand Friday afternoon then hi sided race 1 and still came out for a strong ride in the second...Kev Curtain showing arron Morris the gravel and Siberia was just brililant ( dont mess with me kiddo ) hahaah so funny to see.....What happened to the Aprilia straight line speed advantage...think everyone has caught up

Was great to catch up with you scott, wish i was out there too you know it ! you were looking good and faster than those around you around the last turns..Hi to Dunno and family, just another excellent weekend...Now to mail me mates in the Uk and make em jealous as hell

Just go racing ... some historics have 100yr races age of rider + age of bike so you get 30year olds on something from the 1920/1930s or a 70yr old on a 70's bike - normally the old guys win .... BEARS have had a couple of late 60 early 70's guys race (1098 675 etc)... main problem is if they fall it hurts more for longer :)

[veitch-y]

Congrats to Scott and Colin for a great weekend of racing in the Superstock 600 . Was good to watch the Rats getting around .

[1down5up]

just heard that pat metcalf ( flat chat pat ) broke his wrist in the aussy 600`s first race of the meeting .....its a real shame as he has just got his big brake riding for yrt with kev curtian in supersport who he out qualfied (well done ) by a 10th of a sec hope he heals in time for the first fx round .......good luck and keep ya head down and the confidence up pat

Speaking with a neigbour whose brother in law was riding behind when accident happen said that the guys helmet came off during the accident
our trip down had a incident of our own, a guy came off on the omeo highway just short of bruthen, broken, tib/ fib (nice long rod), smashed collarbone (plate 6 screws) and a broken hip, just got back from tralagon hospital last night, that section of road accounts for a few accidents (me included , many years ago)

[Lopeman]

it looks like vermulan is still on the bike as he enters the frame, half way through the sand trap. then ditches when the wall is coming
