Don't Mess With Texas

Spies on pole in 'Cutter' (© Despain)

That's right...The Texas Tarantula has lassoo'd (he's from Texas, ya' know) his second pole position of the season. In the first loser spot we find Mr. Jakub "vowels are sooo last week" Smrz on the private Duck. Biaggi sits in third on the Aprilia that you can buy at your local dealer. Rounding out the front row is Haga. Starting position doesn't really have any bearing on where Haga will finish the race. Last time out at Phillip Island He won race 1 and bagged a second in race 2 from 14th or so on the grid. he could probably start tomorrow's race from the port-a-loo on pitlane and still make his way up the front within a few laps.

As for the races...you'd be a loon not to think Spies will take at least one win. I think him and Biaggi will split the wins. Haga is hit and miss at Qatar, and will probably hit the deck at least once (while waving at Biaggi). Then again, he could clear off, win both races, and make me look like a stupid dummy.

Methinks...

Race 1 Biaggi/Fabrizio/Spies
Race 2 Spies/Haga/Biaggi


T...out
