That's a very smooth track.  It's like one of the old "Coke syrup on concrete" races.

not a good run for Brad,  Marc gets the chex.  Elias made a charge. 

They were saying the Marc's bike had sophisticated electronics?  traction control?

I'm not expecting to see any of the bikes going through tech inspection...
(even if they had any specs to check them against)

Why was Elias, a Spaniard I believe, wearing a USA stocking cap on the podium?

 Reading a couple of other sites about what happened . Apparently Marquez had a full factory Honda effort behind him , everyone else was a privateer . Kind of creates an unfair advantage . Maybe Danny Eslick will go next year , he has signed a deal to race several flat track races next year when his road race schedule allows . Watched D'Slick and his brother AJ race the tiny bull ring tracks in Oklahoma when they were just kids , he is very good on these donut style tracks .

yeah Dusty, they were making a deal about MM's bike on the telecast.  All trick stuff and lots of $$ according to the TV guys.  He could also make some electronic adjustments on the fly. 

So I figure it must be some type of suspension or traction control ...perhaps adapted from his motogp bike?  Maybe gyros and the rest, who knows?  Usually the fastest rider gets the fastest bike.

They also mentioned that MM wanted to run a Flat Track in the State but Honda won't allow it.

I don't know if 'slick will get a paid invite to Spain since Baker was the only yank there but I'd think Nicky should have a shot.  AJ was the dirt tracker of the two IIRC.
