[ST] Duhamel My Hero



I've always admired the guy.  He's a great motorcycle road racer and very personalableto boot.  Doesn't have a chip on his shoulder by letting his greatness bloat the head.  He's a humble but great warrior.

Now I admire him even more.  That was an incredible Daytona 200.  He ran an incredible race.  Unfortunate he high sided and blew his 12 sec lead (but that can happen to the best of them).  But to wrestle the bike to the ground fighting it all the way, take a hit like he did (probably going 60ish MPH) and get up run to the bike get it started and race again was just truly incredible in my book.  He truly is a road warrior with incredible intesinal fortitude.

Although I disagree with the AMA ruling on the pace car screw-up, and maybe it could have changed the out come, Duhamel showed why he is a great road racer.
