Ciao!
Long time since I last wrote you my personal thoughts about racing and life. Hold on here is another one.
As most of us racers I am addicted to racing and I am following MotoGP, WSBK, IDM, EWC and some local racing back home.
My first view and point to talk about is the performance of the 7 time F1 World Champion, Michael Schumacher. He is learning really quickly to go fast on two wheels instead of four. He is racing just for fun in the German Superbike series IDM. And he has had some crashes so far but he has also made some progress. My personal guess is that he is not just racing for fun, he will win in a short time I guess. Just because he is a racer, were winning means everything.
Casey Stoner has finally made some progress with his Ducati. The package seems to work much better with him at the moment and he immediately shows how good he is as a rider. I am sure it will be a interesting rest of the season.
The strange thing is that the other Ducati guys are so damn slow compared to Stoner. Melandri is at the same material and he is at the bottom end of the list. Not good for him or the team or confidence. Hopefully he finds some progress and some proper results soon.
BMW has signed Ruben Xaus for their WSBK project. The deal is for two years and I think it is a smart move to hire Rubens qualities for helping to develop the new motorcycle. He is always giving 100% and he is not afraid of taking some risks and have some crashes. Wonder what my idol Max Biaggi thinks about this? That his teammate leaves him alone and goes to a factoryteam.
I will go racing in Finland in less than two weeks time. It will be another 6h endurance race with the same guys I rode for last time. I am really looking forward to this.
Now it is time for another walk in the woods with Rossi. He is frustrated and is biting me allover my arms and legs. Strange Alaskan Malamut dog, that shows no respect to his leader while he is updating the blog.
See you!
Cheers / Christer
