from what ive read of the cube it was an insanely powerful motor in a subpar chassis with almost no front end feel. Haga crashed it 28 times in one season!

speaking of Haga... wtf was with him in Qatar?! dude didn't ride at all like he normally does... he was patient... and just let max lead in the first race for the longest time... wasn't until Spies got up there did he start trying to get by...

he looked good though... this would be his year... but it's gonna take a lot to stop Spies... 4 races 3 wins... one 16 where he had two offs..

Did you hear Haga say that Spies won because he is 10 years younger. LOL

Spies' bike pulls like a bat outta hell as compared to those Aprillias.

The boy is talented to the hilt though.

yeah where did the aprilia come from?! i thought it was just biaggi until shinya put his just off podium.

i think Xaus may stick his BMW up front once or twice but corser will be more consistent on the thing. I hope they do well.

really? every time down the front stretch out the first corner it looked like both twins, the duc and the ape... would pull on spies... but being such a long straight... spies caught them back...
