Moontanman Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Yamaha's Ben Spies stuns with pole position on World Superbike debut February 28, 2009 The 2009 World Superbikes season is off to a cracking start, with an action-packed qualifying stage and Superpole now decided. Boasting a huge grid of superstar riders, some ominous new faces, a raft of new bikes and brand new teams from BMW and Aprilia, we've tipped WSBK 2009 as the one to watch over MotoGP in our detailed season preview a few weeks ago. And what a start! Texan Ben Spies has taken an astonishing Superpole victory on his international debut for Yamaha, ahead of veteran Max Biaggi on the brand new Aprilia RSV4 and newcomer Jonny Rea on his Hannspree Honda CBR1000RR. The new Superpole format has proven itself to be pure cut-throat desperation and a great spectacle - and the races tomorrow should be absolutely stunning.

freeztar Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 It's not science. At least how it is presented. On a personal note, watching motorcycles/cars race around a track is about as entertaining as a trip to waffle house with no intention of eating, imo. Quote

Car racing is just "go fast, turn left"! Quote
