Wow what a great weekend of racing. Both the 250's and 450's saw the championship leaders get one step closer to 2011 championships. Some notes of quick interest from this weekend were the rides of Justin Barcia and Justin Bogel. Barcia was in it to the last lap on the second moto before his brain was abducted from Travis Pastrana. On one of the faster and bigger jumps, Barcia slightly jumped all the way across one side of the track to another and right into Dungey's line. If you haven't seen the video just go to Youtube and you will be on it quick. Bogel rode to a very solid 5th overall despite yours truly predicting a podium, but I am an over achiever, much like those I feel have promise.

Last year sometime I wrote about the possibility of Yamaha not fielding a team for the upcoming season and what type of ripple effect that might have on the sport. What I failed to do around that same time was to look who was next in line. I have been hearing for the last two years that Suzuki (Japan) has been consolidating and down sizing at a rapid pace. But what is putting Suzuki in this position and is there a high possibility that Suzuki will quickly follow Yamaha right out of the "Official" racing business.
