Author Message   Jaimec Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 12:47 pm:        SpeedTV is showing the LeMans MotoGP race, and both WSBK races from Kyalama back-to-back tomorrow (May 17) starting at 1:00 PM EDT. Time to take the phones off the hook! Ben just took his record-tying sixth consecutive Superpole. Only fellow Texan Doug Polen has done this so far, and that was 18 years ago. Polen/Edwards/Spies... they grow some FAST bikers in Texas! Something in the water??   Danger_dave Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 06:20 pm:        Yeah - they keep going at this rate in 10 years time they'll be as successful as the Aussies and the Italians. :-p   Jaimec Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 09:12 pm:        Just remember the Aussies and Italians came AFTER the Roberts/Spencer/Lawson/Rainey era (all Americans). What goes around comes around. I think Ben Spies is reminding Europe just how fast the Americans can be.   Danger_dave Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 09:57 pm:        GP world championships Italy 73 United Kingdom 44 Spain 31 United States 17 Germany 16 Australia 12 SBK United States 8 United Kingdom 7 Australia 5 France 1   Danger_dave Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 10:08 pm:        Last 10 yrs SBK UK 4 Aus 4 USA 2 Moto GP Italy 6 US 2 Aus 1 Spain 1
