Bautista still leads the championship however Toseland/Haines appeared to be revelling in every little mistake he made and appeared to be very disappointed that he didn’t suffer any great calamities that would totally ruin his chances. Absolutely appalling one sided anti Ducati bias.
Toseland is a massive tit (the pair of them are) and his grid walks are excruciating but a bit harsh to say hes anti ducati. Like the rest of us he probably wants to see a close championship as opposed to the one sided snooze fest it was in danger of becoming. What did you think of SR45 gettng a long lap in race 1 for taking Gerloff out but nothing for AB1? Thought it was a fantastic weekends racing barring the restart of the last race, great track when its dry.
Bit like Rugby referees - same offence on two different occasions resulting in two differing decisions.
Is was a very odd race weekend. Rea seems to have disappeared into mediocrity and wasn’t even battling Toprak. Two years ago, he’d have shown him off the edge of the track. Now he’s just letting him thru. Commentators do seem to relish Ducati failure.
Bill and Ben were saying there will be a feature on Bautista at the next round with Haynes visiting him in his home town. Interesting to see if Haynes says you're only beating six times world champion Jonathan Rae because the Ducati is the fastest bike, and, by the way, your coffee is shit, or if he comes over all crawly crawly bum lick....
Every lap Haines was saying "this is where Rae knocked into AB last year" , almost muted it evry time it came to that corner
The Ducati power and speed advantage!. They NEVER mention the race bike revs less than the road bike.
Or the fact the Honda is as quick in a straight line and even the yam isn’t miles back but handles better
