f the rest of the Supersport
field were smart, they would all
pitch in, take up a donation and
buy Corey Alexander a Daytona
SportBike and give him a nice
going away party. After Daytona
it looks like it's going to be a long
season in AMA Pro Supersport if
you're not the guy on the number
five Celtic/Hudson Valley Motor-
cycles Suzuki GSXR600.
Alexander completely mopped
up at Daytona, winning the pole,
leading every lap and winning big
in both of the weekend's Super-
sport openers. The margins of
victory were an unheard of 7.923
seconds on Friday and 6.884
seconds on Saturday. Miles
Thornton can at least take pride
in the fact that he actually led Al-
exander in round two - for about
two turns anyway.
Alexander looked a little sheep-
ish in Saturday's press confer-
ence. He was short and sweet
with his comments.
"Again, hats off to my whole
team," said Alexander. "My bike
was just as good as it was yes-
terday if not a little better... Obvi-
ously, we're happy to be on top
again."
Alexander's teammate Wyatt
Farris made Celtic Racing a one-
two combination that was tough
to beat.
Farris edged Houston Su-
perbikes Yamaha rider Dustin
Dominguez in the battle for sec-
ond in round one. A nice battle
