Aruuuuubaa

 

Oh my

 

I was sure the schedule said that the race started at 3pm, went to the app and apparently it’s already finished…

Did I read it wrong or was the race brought forward for some reason?

 

I turned on at 1345 thinking it was at 2pm, just to see the podium so now now the result

 

Same (I’m one hour ahead of you).

 

You might have been getting mixed up with moto gp that started at 3pm.

 

Shocking that Pirella can't make a tyre that you can actually race full distance on..

 

Toprak made it last

 

No, I am one hour ahead of you, and for me, MotoGP started at 4 pm

 

You have to wonder how many demons Sam lowes carries on his shoulders every time the lights turn green. I actually felt really sorry for him today.
What goes on in his head to be that fast but not make the most of it on so many occasions?

 

Great race, good to see Toprak win on a BMW at a track he’s never won at.

 

Bet Redding is seething…..

 

I think Redding is done after this year. His wife is pregant now. He will end up racing American superbike on a Ducati earn some cash and spend his days cycling

 

I think Redding is done also, and probably Gerloff in honesty, it’s off to US Superbike for them both I think. Although they might get a shock because by all accounts Baggers is the big crowd favourite now where the riders are earning mega money and the manufacturers are interested.

shame Sam dropped it today, I know everyone is quick to bash the Lowes boys but I don’t think people should jump all over Sam just yet, it’s his 3rd race.

Toprak though, wow…. A few observations, he isn’t struggling with rear grip like the others but if you look at how he rides, he’s really up off the side of the tyre really early and he steers the bike with the bars with it really upright relatively speaking. It’s quite obvious once you notice it.

shout out to Tarran though, the bike sounds like it’s a bit of a parts bin bike built from other parts from the factory bikes, which aren’t exactly excelling, however he beat redding and ended up 16th.

Bradley ray though, eek…. I don’t think he will make it to mid season unless he’s at least up with the mid pack and mixing it with other partner Yamahas

 

Bloody hell that was incredible

I think I love Toprak more than my dogs.

 

Wow.... Best racing ever when there is tyres to use up..

 

One of the best races I've seen. That was insane. Toprak is on another level.

Fair play to Alvaro as well , yesterday and today making up a lot of places. He gets so much grief for being only good on the straights but he's shown some talent so far this weekend

 

Redding is he actually committed? His cycling seems to be his main focus
