  1. He’s the one thing that’s missing in moto gp.
     
    • Agree Agree x 2
  2. Boring race 1. It says it all when they devote so much time to the “battle” (not) for 10th place.
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  3. Sprint race could be a bit more interesting tomorrow morning :upyeah:

    On a side note i dont think TR could do what hes doing now on a Ducati ..
     
  4. Another good womens race, probably the best race of the weekend so far. Anyone know what the beef is between Carasco and Herrera they were talking aboit?
     
  5. Toprak doing a stoppy on the line because he was so far ahead and in front of Ducati “top brasses” lol.

    What a weekend though don’t think anyone would have guessed he’d be best part of a whole race worth of points ahead of everyone else just 3 rounds after PI.
    Good to see Redding “finding something” in race three too, finishing in front of sl22 must be the highlight of his season so far.

  6. Definitely a good weekends work for Toprak, but I think the second Women’s race was probably the best race to watch.
    Nearly cooked yesterday sat outside on the grass, in the shade in the central tribuna grandstand today

  8. Decent weekend of racing. I do love WSBK but not a fan of the long gaps early on in the season. a few races coming up now though.

    Toprak is on another level out there. Kenan in his grid chat after said something about Toprak having news on his future really soon. Maybe a spare seat in Ducati in GP or BMW for 2027 when the new bikes come in.

    Womens race was good to see, about time.

  9. It was good to see another rider (Sanchez) up the sharp end in race 2 and that it's not just a two rider series (Carasco and Herrera).
    Was enjoyable, I couldnt work out what bikes they were riding though, did they mention it?


    edit: just checked, theyre Yam R7's

  10. I cracked a 1:58 on my first ever visit. A 1:33 must be physically demanding.

  11. Good work.
    Where do you think you lost the 25 seconds?
     
  12. Lack of talent mainly…… Toprak can sleep easy….. his job is safe.:D

  13. Just caught up. Toprak at risk of making this year extremely boring.
     
  14. As boring as watching a non-Ducati win a MotoGP?
     
  15. No. As boring as when Ducati were running away with it. He’s doing remarkably on a bike no one thought was competitive, and isn’t for anyone else. Wsbk last few years, even with all the ‘Ducati 50mph faster’ bollox has been entertaining. Normally 3 going at it for a good proportion of the race. With Bautista regularly pulling away towards the end when fuel load dropped.

    It’s early days, but I think Bulega has already lost to Toprak now every race this year: he’s broken him already as toprak gives zero quarter (ala Marquez) and will run over you if he has to.

    The way he was able to brake fully banked and out of shape was remarkable.

  16. Topraks making them all look a bit second rate at the moment and time for the experienced riders to step up if we’re going to see better racing.
    The lowes bros (although Alex doing a half decent job so far tbf)
    The champ (plenty of podiums but few top steps)
    jR lol
    Even remy has turned to shit once the lights go green
    Starting to think the field wasn’t as strong as we thought and that’s all down to one rider.
     
  17. He certainly didn’t need 14 goes and more to win a race cos he’s on a new bike *cough cough*.
