Stoner rules at Assen
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, Jun 30th, 2008
Casey Stoner did it again in Assen this past weekend, taking his Marlboro Ducati to the top of every practice and qualifying session and then simply checking out in the race, winning by more than 11 seconds and it could easily have been much more.

Haga dominates at Nurburgring
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, Jun 16th, 2008
At the half-way point in the WSB series (seven of 14 rounds complete), Troy Bayliss and his Xerox Ducati still hold a relatively safe lead in the championship from Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) and Max Neukirchner (Alstare Suzuki), but the Yamaha Motor Italia team of Noriyuki Haga and Troy Corser showed their recent form was no fluke.

Rossi falls back in Spain
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, Jun 9th, 2008
Valentino Rossi's short winning streak was chopped off at the knees at Catalunya in Spain on the weekend, as Repsol Honda's darling Spaniard (and home-town favourite) took the lead off the line and simply motored off into the distance.

Written by Larry Tate on Mon, Jun 2nd, 2008
Ho, hum. Yoshimura Suzuki's Ben Spies won twice at Miller (in what was in effect a support event for the World Superbike guys) to extend his lead in the AMA championship.
The second event in the Canadian series went to Clint McBain (Acceleration Racing Suzuki), with a healthy 9.2 second victory over pole-sitter and two-time defending series champion Jordan Szoke.
