Sofuoglu: too early to say? Hag champion? Troys worn out?

Sofuoglu was a bit intimidated and uncertain in 2006, then lost all
fear for WSS in 2007.
Will it be the same in WSB? He's been doing not much in mid-field so
far.

Of all the old guys, please god let Haga get his championship! If
only he wouldn't keep riding like a 20-year-old wild man.

The two Troys: I'd hate to see them bang themselves up and burn out
for the sake of one more season -- come on guys, you were terrific,
now move over.

There, three opinions to shoot at!

Troy Bayliss has already announced that he's retiring at the end of
this season.

plus he was on the dominate bike/team in WSS - not so much now.

I go back and forth on Haga. Generally like hom & root for him, but then
he occasionally does something stupid and pisses me off.

Yeah me too; when he took Sudafed for a cold back in 2000 and it cost him
the championship, that was stupid.
He is one of the most fun riders to watch still.

Some dodgy Chinese herbal remedy for reducing weight, I think. Natural
speed with rather too much ephedrine in it.

Indeed, when he's on his game.
