I vote MM93.

 

[JakesKTM]

Man - I’ve missed the last 4 rounds. Just not that exciting although i like this track.

Time for a little getting it on in France.

So hard not to think Rea will win at least one.
Setting my DVR now!

The European Superstock championship will not continue after 2018. This weekend's race will be the last for the continental 1000cc championship.

 

[budman]

I guess that is OK. Makes sense the individual series will be stronger because of it.

 

[Lucky Jones]

I'm gonna say THIS:

Good job gettin it done.

Chaz needs to stop hurting himself.

The field NEEDS to step up.

I STILL enjoy the series!

Excellent poll selections as always, Map8. Can I be like you when I grow up?

Ana gonna bring the pain ...

 

[budman]

4 on the trot.

Amazing domination.

 

[Lucky Jones]

Ana gonna bring the pain ...

I hope she does it!

It's exciting to see her hard work and determination paying off!

4 for JR. Domination!

Looking forward to SSP300 tomorrow. Four riders have a shot at the championship. MotoAmerica Junior Cup champ Alex Dumas, Of Quebec, is wildcarding at Magny-Cours.

I was not aware of this. Thanks. He can block for Ana and punt any punters into the skittles at Adelaide.

Ana Carrasco gets it done !

".....I wanted to dedicate this title to Luis Salom, we were good friends and the day we lost him I promised myself to dedicate my first title to him.....

.....Perez was a distraught second as Carrasco came over the line in 13th to create history by a single point....."

[Map8]

Emotional day for the SSP300 championship. With a few laps to go, any of three racers could have won. With three corners to go, either Carrasco or Perez could have won. Seeing Ana Carrasco's reactions go from sadness to joy on the cool down lap was very moving. That class really delivers. Congratulations Champ!

One more thing. Carrasco's championship will surely make a lot of mainstream media headlines, as it should, and hopefully act as a positive counter to all the recent Fenati coverage.

If Dovi had somehow been in Carrasco's position at the head of yesterday's race, his eventual championship cinching finish could not have destroyed me any more. I'm still a wreck ... and absurdly happy. " ... dedicate my first title ... ". How can you not love her?

clinching by October 1 not really good for the sport jus sayin
