Who saw the last several laps in the 2nd race?!

Unbelieveable! Leon Haslam catching Harris was just some of the most thrilling motorsport I have seen in a long time. I wish ALL motorsport was as good as BSB.

All I can say to the F1 nancy boys is: That, is how you do that.

T'was a great race. With 3 ;aps to go, I thought he was gonna walk it, but on the final lap O thought he'd given himself too much to do. With half a lap left sky went down, so by the time I'd run upstairs to put ITV on, it was over. Gutted!!

I missed the last seven laps. Don't tell me, they were the best

I was quite impressed with the female presenter taking the bike out in the wet too.

the female presenter was quite impressive in the wet, but she doesnt know her left from right about presenting, its quite amusing to watch.

No more than it helped Lavilla at a guess?

It never rains in Spain, so you can't expect him to go well when its damp out....

Just watched this on Sky+ - fantastic, lots of respect for Leon...

At times he appears to be outclassed by his team mate but got to remember, he's still only young...

I was on the edge of my seat - never EVER on the edge of my seat watching F1 although the recent win by Jenson was OK to watch...

Leon has really impressed me this season..in years past he was content to stay onboard and finish races but he`s pushing 100% this year..and it`s showing..
A man to watch in BSB now...
