Some guys are just crashers and Fillmore is one of them. Good to see Bostrom up front. Jordon Motorsports found some consistancy this year in their riders. I would like to see Zemke on the RC8R next year. Fillmore will end up in a permanant stay in the hospital if he is not careful. Great supermotard man but when the pace is quickened he cannot react fast enough. Boy the KTM sure looks special lined up on a grid. They could not make that bike prettier if they tried.
Just finnished touring the Nurburgring with the SBK boys. Sykes sort of was outclassed by Spies when they rode together and lost his ride. He deserved another year on the Yamaha but did not get it. Good to see Atchison back on the tarmac where he inevetibly ends up, he cannot finish a race still on a seat any better than Noikerchner.
Go Checa Go and they say you loose speed with age. Looks like SBK is still okay to refer to as the Ducati Cup.

To be fair, the number 7 Ducati is the only one at the front consistantly.

If Filmore ends up on the KTM team next year, hopefully he does so exclusively, and not defending his crown in the HD Thunder class at the same time. With more than double the power to weight ratio when on the KTM, I don't think he can adapt successfully if he rides both classes. Totally different power delivery as well. If a two rider team is made, hopefully someone with superbike experience is picked as a teammate. Who would you like to see on the RC8
