I cannot remember ever being excited by, or looking forward to competing on, a freshly paved mile-and-a-half track. Puma Outlet France . They are, in a word, unpredictable.Nothing illustrates what Im about to describe better than the near-disaster Kyle Busch had midway through Fridays practice at Kentucky Speedway. Whistling through Turns 3 and 4, appearing in complete control, his No. 18 car snapped sideways at roughly 175 mph.It was abrupt. It was without warning. The crew had to be leaning toward unloading the backup car when Kyle made the greatest save I have ever witnessed.Here is why:Its not uncommon for drivers to exit a high-speed corner with the right rear tire drifting (sliding toward the wall) -- the tire losing its grip on the race track. Drivers then calculate their distance to the wall and determine simultaneously how much accelerator to maintain as they power off the turn.What Kyle had was nothing like a drift. He didnt lose 10 or 20 percent of his rear grip. He lost it all!That he was able to catch the car (with a quick turn to the right) speaks to his reaction time and his exceptional feel in a race car. Even more impressive was the skill he demonstrated in preventing the car from snapping back (overcorrecting to the right, throwing the car into the wall as the weight shifted right to left) and hitting his right front into the outside wall.Avoiding a snap-back speaks to Buschs knowledge and skill. In other words, 70 percent of todays drivers wouldnt have caught the initial slide. They wouldnt have committed that much steering wheel to the right, knowing that even if they caught the slide to the right, they definitely wouldnt have timed it perfectly when the rear tires regained traction and sprung the other direction. Seventy percent would have surrendered, gassed it and hoped to avoid hitting the outside wall.Watch Busch release the steering wheel with both hands after capturing the first slide. He allows the cars caster and camber to straighten the steering wheel for him (using the cars balance) because few drivers, if any, could time a transition under such circumstances.I could spend all day trying to explain why this was the greatest save I have ever seen because of where and when it happened. I cant properly put into perspective how unlikely Buschs outcome was other than to say I couldnt have done it, and 95 percent of those I competed against couldnt either.It was a brutal slide at a brutal track with brutal circumstances.The bottom lineDrivers will enter tonights race knowing Buschs experience could be next for them. Its not the risk in wrestling their race cars that concerns them; its the risk of not being able to anticipate when that will come.On a new racing surface, drivers have all their markers, turn-in points and braking points erased.They will spend the weekend looking for new ones and gradually pushing themselves to find the new limits of Kentucky Speedway, and the limits of their cars at the new speedway.Few drivers identified that limit during practice, but Busch did. He survived it and enters Saturday nights race better for it.Moments after the incident Friday, Busch keyed his microphone and said, That came out of nowhere.Those five words are why drivers seldom look forward to competing on new asphalt.

It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. Chaussure Puma France .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. http://www.francepuma.fr/ . Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers. No. 4 Florida State | No. 6 Ohio State | Top 25No. 5: LSULast Season: 9-3?(5-3 SEC West)It was a tale of two seasons for the 2015 LSU Tigers: a 7-0 start and a top-four rank, then three straight losses by a combined 52 points. This season, with 17 starters back and a new D-coordinator in Dave Aranda (No. 1 FBS defense the past three years at Wisconsin), LSU, on paper, should rebound. The Tigers have my No. 2-ranked D this year: my top D-backs (TreDavious White and Jamal Adams) and my eighth-ranked linebackers (Arden Key had nine QB hurries in 15). Putting up points isnt a problem either -- they averaged 32.8 per game last season and return Heisman front-running RB Leonard Fournette (1,953 yards), two NFL-caliber wideouts in 6-3 Malachi Dupree and 6-2 Travin Dural and my No. 5-rated O-line. I have LSU favored in 10 games, with just two toss-ups, vs. Alabama and at Arkansas.IN IF... It holds home field. The Tigers host Ole Miss and Alabama in Death Valley, so the SEC West will be theirs to lose. The West, by the way, has won seven straight SEC titles, a playoff-ticket puncher.OUT IF... The D doesnt return to form. LSU allowed 24.3 ppg last year (10th in the SEC) -- the first time outside the SECs top four since 2008.LSUs chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Wisconsin (Lambeau Field): 84.5% 09.10 vs. Jacksonville State: 98.8% 09.17 vs. Mississippi State: 88.6% 09.24 @ Auburn: 71.2% 10.01 vs. Missouri: 94.3% 10.08 @ Florida: 72.4% 10.15 vs. Southern Mississippi: 98.2% 10.22 vs. Ole Miss: 73.5% 11.05 vs. Alabama: 65.7%% 11. Puma Pas Cher France. 12 @ Arkansas: 77.2% 11.19 vs. South Alabama: 99.5% 11.24 @ Texas A&M: 67.4%The Tigers might be the SECs most talented team with the countrys best player in Leonard Fournette, but with questions remaining in the passing game and the possibility of last years late-season drama with Les Miles seeping into the season, LSU is headed for back-to-back 9-3 seasons.?-- Edward AschoffThe Tigers have a boatload of talent -- most notably the best running back in college football, Fournette -- and a revamped 3-4 defense led by new coordinator Dave Aranda. A 10-2 record is within reach, but the Tigers are aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff -- and thats a reasonable goal with this roster.?-- David ChingThe best player in college football is in the backfield, but can Brandon Harris complete enough passes to get them to the playoff? I think so. And I think the defense under Arandas watch is going to be scaaaary as the Tigers go 11-1.?-- Sam Khan Jr.By most teams standards, 10-2 would be a terrific year. At LSU, it will likely be a disappointment as they come up just short to Alabama in the SEC West again.?-- Greg OstendorfHarris will be better, but not by enough to make the offense what it needs to be to unseat Alabama. Fournette will earn a trip to the Heisman Trophy ceremony and LSU will finish 10-2.?-- Alex ScarboroughNo. 4 Florida State | No. 6 Ohio State | Top 25 Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '
