Ha! yes i did.. that was indeed awesome... but but but.... do you remember the time Ben Bostrom (2001)was on a ducati and he just did the same thing that edwards did but got beaten in the end (troy of course)... i think that was the best season... oh and for some of the best races... remember one Mr. Anthony Gobert... hang on let me try finding the vids..Originally posted by hirenmistry View Post
Has anyone of you followed the 2002 WSBK season? Bayliss won most of the races in the first half and Edwards wining most races in the second half of the season. I think its the best season WSBK has had till date.
Youtube has a WSBK channel by the name of WSBArchives, has highlights of all from 1992 season, a must see for a WSBK fan.
Cheers

Will see these videos soon (my netcon has crappy for the past couple of days).
Used to love the tests, was it Stever Martin or Steve Parish? Who ever it was, lucky guy.
CheersAll riders fall; some get back on, some don't, some can't...

Well some of us actually do follow WSBK as much as we can !! But I do not get ZeeSports thru my cable. So can't see it !!Originally posted by soulstation View Postare there just the three of us in the entire xbhp membership who follow WSBK???? damn.. guess people are missing out on a lot of action..
hey suren... do you remember foggys last corner move on colin edwards ... eehhhh! ten years back i suppose... i forgot what track that was.. but foggy was .7 adrift with chilli tailgating.. untill the last bend.. where foggy gets that extra drive out of his ducati and beast edwards on the line... actually this was the race where they declared edwards the winner... but foggy only knew when he came into the park Furme...
this was much better than that.... in a long time...

Poor, poor Big Ben. Feel really sad for him, but it was again a fantastic race. This makes the overall championship a li'l 'decided', with 80 points between the top two.
But FULL points to Kiyonari for holding up. He deserves this more than the dumb Roman who didn't have the brains to concede a place after that chicane ride through and ended up 20 secs late. Serves you well.
Fabrizio is a surprise package. I always likened him to be the crazy jerk without any meat after he pushed Neukirchner off in Assen. Anyway, good on him.
I can't wait for race 2. Should be tons of fun. R15 time for me :Psigpic
