A Look Ahead With A Look Back - Daytona 2011

It's the Saturday of bike week so you all know what that means, Daytona motherfuckers! Heres last years race:

Main Points:

• Stewart holeshots and checks out quicker than a guy who's left a hookers corpse in his hotel room.
• Canard gets F'd in the A twice. First by Dungey and then by Metcalfe. There's not even any Lube involved.
• Stewart gets bored and attempts a front flip.
• Villopoto takes the lead and is never troubled.
• Dungey catches reed but doesn't pass him (Shocker!).
• Alessi gets blue flagged and pulls over for Stewart even though the JS7 is NOT a lap ahead.
• RV pulls out the burnout on the Daytona tarmac. Standard.

This race wasn't a ball grabber, it struggled to keep my attention. Like I said Stewart runs off but then crashes (deja vue), falls over his bike and then gets back on and then pulls out fast laps again. It's a pretty epic ride and that jump he is clearing is ridic-U-lous. Seriously though how pissed did Alessi have to be when he found out Stewart wasn't a lap ahead of him. The flaggers are trying to signal that Villopoto is coming round to lap them so mike hears a bike looks over and sees Stewart and presumes he's leading (it could happen) and just gives it up like its prom night. Tony Alessi probably bought out the shot gun and the gimp right there and then.

 So obviously people are going to look for RV to three-peat (lame word play I know) tonight. It's definitely possible with Reed and Dungey out. If Stewart doesn't get all Paris Rosen he could easily win, but that depends on how big the GoPro bonus is tonight (see here). I'll say it again....Daytona motherfuckers!
