Great run by Barros in Race 1, pitty about that mistake in race two, which hypothetically, may have cost him the distance in race 2.
But in all honesty, Bayliss walked race two. Great racing overall, some crazy work by Barros. |

Barros was AWESOME. I am not sure why he qualified so far back but in the race he was making them all look like amateurs. Eye-popping. He just needs to sort out qualy and, most crucially, the starts.
2007 could be the year of the Brazilian. And I'm not talking G-Wax here! |

I wont get to watch the races till Tuesday, but glad to see Barros win one. Good stuff. Hopefully he'll have a bit more Honda support next year and maybe a two-bike team. Congrats to Bayliss.

A Barros victory was overdue, he's been impressive all season, only really let down by those poor starts. If he gets the second Ten Kate ride I can see him not only beating Toseland but also pushiong for the title.
Bayliss did what he had to do, but it was nice to see him unleashed in race 2. Not sure what Neukirchner was thinking, it doesn't get much worse than that. |
