!!!SUNDAY!!!

Epic racing tomorrow with both the MotoGP and World Superbike titles up for grabs.

In MotoGP, Champeenship leader Rossi will start the MotoGP of Malaria from pole position. The only dude who still has a shot at the title, Lorenzo, will start the race from second. With a 38 point gap between these two, Rossi only needs a 4th place finish to wrap up his umpteenth world title with one race to go. Homeboy Haybale put in a decent qualifying effort, and will start at the top of the 3rd row in 7th. Colin the Texan will start four places back from his usual spot in 9th.


On the World BetterRacing front...At Portimao, Yamaha R-series pilot, Ben Spies, will start the final two races of the year from pole...his 11th this year. One Mr. Noriyuki Haga goes into this final round with a 10 point championship lead, but will be starting from a not-so-hot 10th place on the grid. If "The Ben" manages to win both races, and Haga finishes 2nd in both, they will be tied on points, but Spies will take the title onnacounta he has a truckload more wins than Haga this season. Either way, Spies is off to MotoGP next year to pardner up with Colin the Edwards at Tex-Trois Yamaha.


If Haga doesn't seal the deal this year, there's always next year as he has re-signed with Xerox Ducati for 2010. Also...in in an effort to give Spies as much MotoGP seat time as possible, Yamama will be supplying an additional bike for the final MotoGP round at Valencia this year for Spies to run as a wildcard. Will he beat Toseland? The fortune cookie that came with my shlimp flied lice says 'yes'.



My plan is to get an early drunk-on, and be home by 1a.m. to watch the MotoGP race live online...you should do the same. After that, I'll sleep off the booze, then throw a corned beef in the crock pot and catch the World Superbike races on SpudTV.
