Well and truly!

They all whinge yet Toprak says fuck all when any of them sit him up mid corner which JR did to him on a few occasions. Rea is at the desperation stage if you ask me, he’s so used to being on top that it’s scaring him the very thought of losing, the end is nigh! I hope anyway!

From what i can see he's saying "bring it on, we'll go hard"

I don't see any whinging in that.

Of course it is, the very fact that he says “I don’t want to shit on his style” or whatever it is he says means he is whinging, and to then bring up the track riding they do at Kenan’s place just cements that for me, why even mention that. Get on with it!

I think you're reading a lot more into it than is actually there.

I think its called Confirmation Bias

“The confirmation bias is so fundamental to your development and your reality that you might not even realize it is happening. We look for evidence that supports our beliefs and opinions about the world but excludes those that run contrary to our own.” — Sia Mohajer, The Little Book of Stupidity.

It came off mid-corner, went under his wheel and spat him off.

Rumors of Rea walking round with a 5mm allen key in the paddock have been dismissed.

It’s whinging by Rea, was never a fan but the protest earlier in the year was pathetic from Kawasaki so hoping they lose
