WSBK Misano

Post by Skub »

This weekend. Which one of 'the three' will be on the top of the podium this time? No pressure Alvaro!

Not sure if Toprak will be running the new electrics or not.

It’ll be one of them 3 that’s for sure.

If Bautista doesn’t improve much then it’s just as I said previously, when the track doesn’t suit his ridiculously fast bike on a long start finish straight and his light weight which contributed to it then he’ll get found out.

Alvaro punching in those consistent fast laps. Usual 3 at the top.

300 was great racing. Steeman was steaming.

First half of race 1 was top entertainment, pity about the second half and the tyre shenanigans.

Going to watch it on catch up the now, maybe he’s found something, by a few seconds too. The Kawasaki is noticeably quicker this year, I suppose you’ve got to find the speed on the straights to beat Toprak.

No beating the Duc this weekend,but ya gotta give Bautista his due,he did the job in style.

Kawasaki will be hoping for a better round,come Donnington.

Did anyone watch the second 300 race? What a belter. Coppola came from 20th on the grid to lead at one stage,every lap was like the last lap for those youngsters. Great entertainment.

Kudos to Toprak trying like buggery to stay with that Ducati, but it just pulled away even when Toprak was in his slipstream……….slipstream fuck all.

After the interview with Smart I think it may get the revs reduced after round 6.

The quick chat Charlie did pre the last race with Scott Smart in his shiny FIM shirt hinted that Ducati might be losing some revs shortly to even things up a bit as they are fucking off on the straights ..... well Bautista is, but he weighs about the same as a 12 year old girl with the matching hairstyle

I thought the younglings in the SS300 are getting a bit better behaved this year...... a bit ;) . Not quite the level of stupid lunacy and barging like last year bit still completely brain out racing. Interestingly Tom Booth-Amos, now in SS600 mentioned the Yamaha now has an extra 20cc to use so its isnt quite the Kawasaki cup it was turning into :mrgreen:

After round 6 like I said above, but whether it happens or not I’m not so sure.

Italian run series,Italian tyres and an Italian bike which hasn't won a wsbk championship for 11 years.....they may drag their heels a little on clipping those Italian wings. :lol:
