Last 2 races, all up in the air, who is NOT going to crack under
pressure?

Gut feeling those few points that Fabrizio took off Haga are really
going to count now.

I want Haga to win, but feel Spies will, and to be honest he deserves
it, best rider of the year, with Simoncelli 2nd best.

Least we now have ONE good rider in MotoGP for 2010 [Hint hayden, TAKE
A HIKE!]

Man are you delusional.
Simoncelli is/was the 2nd best rider this year in WSBK?
You just got through saying you want Haga to win, wouldn't you think if he
doesn't he would be the 2nd best rider in SBK this year?

Simoncelli - a one off, on his total home circuit he has every
obligation to know inside and out? Heck no. Have him ride a superbike
on a more obscure circuit and win a race, and *then* we can talk about
the merit of his accomplishment. What he did was.. neat. And no less
than should be expected of him, in my opinion.

As to the main question, heck, roll the dice. It is goig to be a
battle of nerves and poise. To me , the riding skill and poise
equation goes to Spies. Natural poker player. The WSB experience and
familiarity card (not inconsiderable) goes to Haga. I like Haga. Then
again, he's had so many chances that I actually would like the shock
and surprise of Spies winning it. And in turn the total surprise
factor of him shaking up GP next year. One can dream. I don't like the
predictable. I prefer the memorable.

I think we've got a re-run of Imola 2002. Spies will take pole and win
the first race and then the championship will be decided by whoever wins
the second. With Fabrizio playing the Xaus role and Biaggi and Rea
getting in the way. Perhaps Ducati should give a 3rd factory bike to
Byrne in the hope that he gets in the mix as well?

I said at the beginning of the year that Haga would find a way to lose
it. I hope it's not just 2 close second places that turn out to be just
not quite enough.

somewhat true - track knowledge etc., but I bet many 250 riders that
know that track couldn't have done that well on a superbike. I am
looking forward to see what he can do in MotoGP (Although that class is
losing it's luster to me, it has become way to much of a machine/luck
class, many boring races, and many good riders that just don't have the
equipment to to really compete.

I never said Haga was the 2nd best rider or even that good, just that
he has a very good chance of winning the Championship, he [Haga] has
pretty much arsed his way through the season till Spies got into his
strides, the Ducati is still the best overall bike in the field that
has helped him no end [Till Aprilia get a decent full-time rider]

Be that as it may, it's still a good effort, say compared to Hodgsons
"Championship" win on the Ducati...lol

About as worthy of a Championship as hayden.

I think maybe I read that backwards. But did Haga land on his arse at
Donington?

Me too.

His effort in the single SBK race was outstanding.

That he had some crashes [which more often than not means your pushing
hard] and machinery failures in the 250's he should have been W/
Champion again this year....Still a chance all the same.

If he does well and beats all the other privates in the MotoGP/2010
and mixes it with the "A" graders, his option for 2011 will be factory
Ducati with Stoner, in place of hopeless hayden [hooray she cried!] OR
haonda might put him into the Repsol factory team, either Divz. or
Pedbot are riding for their future in 2010 and one will have to go.

Expecting BIG things from Simoncelli and Spies in 2010.

You can think whatever you like. And you probably will.
