Donington Park, UK | WSBK 2012 (Spoilers)

fantastic tight first race!

 

Race two was a barn burner, looks like Melandri and Haslam took each other out down the stretch.

Rea took the win.

 

leon and marco, from heroes to zeroes literally.

 

With so much scrapping in the last few laps, I knew something bad would happen in the second race.

 

damn, rea took em out.

 

Were we watching the same race? The last 8 or so laps was some great racing.

 

I never said it wasn't great racing. I was just watching the timing screen, so I was only guessing what happened. Which is why I said it "looks like".

 

Rea knocked down Haslam whose bike took out Marco.

 

Go Rea!

 

Goddamn wrecking ball. I guess it was no accident the first time he bumped Melandri out of the way earlier in the race.

 

I would really like to have EuroSport2 in the states. I turned on speed today in the hopes there might be some racing on and instead they had a Soccer match.

Does anyone know a "legal" way to get EuroSport here?

 

Only thing I can think of would be to find a way to use the Eurosport Player service. Someone had mentioned that it's possible to do that from the states by using a proxy server.

 

Go watch the finish again...

 

I turn on an Amazon EC2 instance in Ireland and then just nail up an SSH tunnel to it and have Firefox use the SSH tunnel asa SOCKS Proxy server. I then paid Eurosport the monthly subscription fee and then I can watch all of the British eurosport channels.

 

Howz about that race 2!!!! Woooooooo hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

 

Speed's showing both races at 4 & 5 today.

 

Just had a long chat with James Whitham about it. Once we've all had a few hours to reflect a bit, things clear up. But yes, some DAMN good racing at Dony this weekend.

Race 1 is on now on Speed.

Hella good racing so far.

 

It only gets better.

 

I'll catch as much as I can. I have some yard/ car crap I have to do while it's still light out.
