Why do they say he is Texan? I thought he was from Tennessee?

Hmm, Haga a second slower.. what's going on there??
Hang on... Where's Haslam??? Bugga, got him in the fantasy tipping comp

Thanks for putting the times up Andz.

Thanks for posting them Andz , dont worry Dave i have Haslam too .....Lucky Sykes is in the top 10......Not a bad effort from Mr Corser either :thumbup:

Superpole is on TV now, I'm not moving from my chair today!

Haslam was 17th in the first session so didn't qualify for Superpole 2, along with Scassa, Muggeridge and Smrz.

First session was Neukirchner, Spies, Fabrizio, Kiyonari, Haga, Kagayama, Biaggi, Sykes, Rea, Corser, Nakano, Laconi, Xaus, Checa, Byrne and Parkes.

spies just needs to stay on, and up the front in both races, and then hope that Haga struggles... It's already getting to the point where haga's points lead in the title race where he will be hard to peg back.

Haga was quickest in the warm up so he is still well on the pace.......Muggers moved into the top 10 in warm up :thumbup:...Well done boy

Nasty incident on the first turn, it looked like one of the riders was flattened by a flying bike! Red flag, Neukirchner, Corser, Hill and Tamada out.

Longview, Texas. The middle of nowhere...

Interesting, I have seen Memphis and Germantown Tennessee.

His official website says Memphis

Wikipedia says Germantown

Myspace says Longview

At least they get the same birthdate!
