Mark Buckley Battles Nasty Virus to Compete in Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix

Yep, it's true, Buckley was invited to ride in the race by British Superbikes regular Jentin Lloyds British. A few days before the race, though, he caught sick and was bedridden. In total, he was only on the track three times during practice to get to know the track - not much time for a new track. On race day, he fought his way out of bed and completed the race in a top ranked position. He had to visit the hospital wight after the event...Expect to see him there in 2010, and we all hope he will stay healthy!

More News from Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix - Happening Now

It is true - the Macau Motorcycle GP is going on this weekend - it actually started back on Thursday, officially. Stuart Easton is at the top of the time sheets, but fellow countryman Simon Andrews is having some trouble adjusting to real roads racing; it is highly dangerous and different from being on a track. He ended the day in 28th position...but, it's not over yet...

Hydrex Honda is looking for a repeat win at the Macau GP. With Easton running so very well at the event so far, I would give them a more than equal chance at taking another victory. Time will tell, though, and we will know much more after we get news of Friday's qualifying times...

Conor Cummins of Paul Bird Kawasaki to Ride in Macau Grand Prix

Cummins will be riding a factory Kawasaki in the real roads Grand Prix race at Macau off China's coast. He is considered an Isle of Man sensation, which does mean something. He did take the unofficial lap record at this year's Isle of Man TT, and he finished on the podium twice at the event. Not satisfied with that performance, he went on to claim a new track record lap time at the Dundrod Circuit at the Ulster Grand Prix!
