WSBK round 3 Assen 04/17/11

L8 Braker · 04-14-2011, 11:09 AM

Considered the greatest circuit in the world, it is time for Assen!!

WSBK is only 2 races done, and it's already been one of the most interesting in years...
--The old guys are whoopin' everyone's ass (Checa 38, Biaggi 39)
--Checa has won 3 of the first 4 races?...Really?...Checa???
--Biaggi slapped Melandri with the force of a little girl
--Speaking of Melandri, he's 2nd if points right now
--Haga, a perennial title contender, is no where to be found during a race
--Smrz, Camier, and Haslam have found a spot on the podium for a race

There's more to talk about...Your thoughts?

Assen is all about speed, fast and flowing. Haga has a good history there and the GP guys have alot of set up know how. Biaggi, Melandri, and Checa will be fast there. Don't know which bike the track favors as Ducati and Yamaha have all had their successes there and dont count out the BMW if Haslam gets his mojo working...
