How right Esteban was when he called our attention to this young American driver who had just won everything in his country. The championship you have chosen is the Superbikes, and it does not seem that it is going to leave puppet with head in the category. Despite the fact that in a race like the first round in Valencia he crashed, I think that this mistake is not going to be repeated. And less if he behaves as he has done this noon in the Assen superpole. It has been a long time since I have seen a qualifier as entertaining as today. Ruben Xaus has not been able to pass the first round although his partner Troy corser if it has, with what the BMW seems that little by little they are being more competitive.

In the first heat of the super pole, riders of the quality of Nakano or Xaus were left out. In addition to those who have not passed the cut in official training, among which is David Czech. But the surprise has undoubtedly been given Troy corser, which has placed the BMW second after an unleashed Neukirchner that has only made two laps and has placed first of the sleeve.

In the second round of training, the emotion has put her Carlos Checa, that when there were a few seconds to finish the cut did not pass, but a masterful last lap has put him in the ointment, leaving out Max Biaggi, Troy Corser, Ryuichi Kiyonari or Yukio Kagayama. But the one who has hurt the most has been the Italian who has entered the box clearly snubbed and slamming doors on the cupboards.

The third round has been a triumphant ride for the American, who has let the other seven riders fight until the last five minutes, when he has returned to the track and has made it clear to them who is the boss this year in Superbikes. This guy is spectacular riding the Yamaha, so much so that he can hardly be seen when he lies down from what is hidden behind the bike, so much so that he even touches his elbows on the ground when leaning. Secondly Noriyuki Haga he finished fourth, risking just enough to be on pole tomorrow. Carlos Checa he was unable to pass from eighth position, almost a second from the time set by Spies. Spies will be accompanied Smrz to a tenth of a second and Leon haslam (Pocket rocket has been nicknamed for its size) to four hundred thousandths of the American.

On Supersport the Spanish Lascorz has signed a second position after Crutchlow and preceding Sofuoglu. On Superstock 1000 pole has been for the French Berger. While the Spaniards in the category have achieved some discreet positions, Forés being the seventh, Ortega the seventeenth, Barragán eighteenth and Tutusaus thirty-third. On Superstock 600 pole has been for the Italian Petrucci and the only Spanish in the category has been twentieth.

As it seems that no Spanish channel is going to broadcast the race, you can follow it on the official website of the championship in streaming, yes, you will have to have Explorer installed, because it does not work in Firefox. And if you live in America or the Caribbean you will have to put up with it because in those areas they have limited diffusion. Tomorrow we are going to spend all morning plugged in from very early.
