Just wondering how people think Schwantz and Greg White did as commentators for the GP race in Germany on CBS today?

Not bad but never quite up to the Euros in my opinion. I am however very impressed with the quality of riding in the rain. Great race. Those tires must be something special not to mention the riding skills. The Doctor still amazes me. 260 kph down the stretch in the rain. It's no wonder I'm the spectator. I hate rain.

How about those Aussies! Stoner 1st and Vermulan 3rd, doesn't get any better than that, well I guess Vermulan could of finished 2nd and if only West could get that heap of crap in to 3rd it would be a perfect GP.

I missed the race. Didn't know it was going to be on CBS. I'm with CanadianBird. I too am amazed by the speed they can carry in rain.

Once the tires get up to operating temps, as long as they are cut to efficiently wick water, they stick nearly the same as they do when they are slick.
