+1. I watched my guys crash out all day.

And I had Checa in race 2.

++1 Not good at all.  Still hanging onto the top ten overall, but slipped back today.  I wasted a Checa pick in race 2 aswell  

The Acho/Smrz incident in race 2 probably cost me 32 points.

Tough couple of races. Could have gone better, but could have been much much worse.

Oh, sure. I had Smrz too, of course.     What was I thinking?

And my team in both races was BMW. Melandri leading first race! Uh, no, red flag. Haslam leading after the restart! Uh, no, he's eating ground.

Could have been worse. I only dropped one spot in our league and two spots overall. It looks like I'll be mailing out the trophy again, though.    Lol

Ditto,   only thing that saved me was I had Sylvan Guintoli as a B rider...  Its good to see Laverty do well on the Aprilia.

Watching Rea and Haslam both crash out after their breakaway in race 1 was painful.

But, in race 2 Guintoli & Rea helped me keep the overall leader in sight....barely.

Did anyone pick Stoner for Jerez?  I believe most of us thought Lorenzo would take his "home" race.

I had Lorenzo, but Repsol Honda was my team so I'm good with a Stoner win.

Same picks here.

Didn't get to see the race though. My Tivo died yesterday, and I didn't feel like getting up at 5:00AM to watch it live.

My brilliant strategy for gaining points on the field:

1) Everyone else would choose Lorenzo (check)
2) Pedrosa would get the holeshot (check)
3) Pedrosa would be able to hold off Lorenzo (not check)

My thoughts on strategy: Since there are three aliens, with six picks each and 18 races, picking an A rider is the most high-profile pick but least important (unless you unluckily pick a guy who gets taken out in a turn one crash). The winner will be determined by B rider and team picks.

Disclaimer: This is "strategy" talk from a guy at the bottom of the leader board, so take it for what it's worth.

I'm having tube trouble too. The audio seems to have crapped out on the receiver. I watched the race with the sound off. Interesting experience.

Had a really good weekend this time. 94 points thanks to Lorenzo and Repsol Honda but Crutchlow and Bautista did not hurt me either.

I was on a ride all weekend and didn't have Internet access. I don't believe I picked my riders. What happens?  Does it auto fill from my picks in the last race?

Yep. It just carries the last picks forward. If you've already used up your allotted picks on a rider or team, you get zip for that one.

Rain really mucked up the WSBK races today. Race 1 was canceled. Race 2 was stopped early & riders only got half points. I have no idea how they're going to handle that.

I need to check the rules.  You can only pick the same manufacturer so many times over the course of the season?  Because I used the same selection over the last 2 races, apparently I received no team points?

Maybe I read it wrong, but....
