when you are pulling for a kid on a Yammie in a tight battle with a dude on a Duc, that is a big time spoiler.

The big question is what the hell happened to Spies? he didn't seem to be his usual self. was there so much Italian bravado in the air that he was just playing it safe and keeping it on 2 wheels? if Biaggi would have taken him out that would have sucked, and what the hell is up with Rea? he seems to be riding on the edge of "tank slapping out of control" lots of WILD cards in this title chase. lastly why the hell didn't Fabrizio let Haga win, is Ducati stupid? or don't they give a crap if they win the title. that seemed like a huge oversight to me.

Ben Spies, Yamaha World Superbike Team (4th, 5th)

"In race one we ruined our chances with the electronic side of the bike, we didn't have enough power coming out of the bike and we struggled with grip a bit as well, it was a rough race. The second race we had the pace for sure to battle for the lead but a combination of things held us up. Rea got pretty greedy early in the race, passing me in the gravel trap three different times. I felt bad for him as I knew he had the pace to run up front but you've got to know when to calm down and when to take it easy for a couple of laps and let the race come in, you can't push on every corner. I had a couple of laps where I wasn't riding well at all then I got myself together and caught up to Simoncelli and Biaggi. They bumped and Biaggi ran off the track, when he came back on it was either hit him or go off into the gravel. I got back on and caught up to Bryne and then almost ran into the back of him and had to run off the track again. It was a messy race. There were a lot of mistakes, a couple from me and some from others. If you would have told me after the first race that we would only be losing the championship by three points I'd be happy because there were a lot of guys who could beat me this weekend."

If in the title it says SPOILER, then by now, you should not open it up.

Probably too much to ask, but a title like:

Imola WSB results. Warning: spoiler

would be great. Certainly the title itself shouldn't be a spoiler.
