Good memories, best week ever. Can't wait for this years event, i'll be hoping Guy Martin can win one this year

"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices." "Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman" |

The first superbike TT was a real shocker. Retirements by the two Favorites leaving Suzuki to white wash the podium. Great day for TAS and Camron Donald particularly, who's taken a bike bike win in only his third TT and having missed last year. Roll on the Superstock and a probably Anstey win.
