I had a little giggle when JR fell off.

Re: WSBK France
Yeah and the Toprak joined him, I nearly wet myself
The little battle had a lot of merit until then

Re: WSBK France
For me it saved the JR whining when he doesn't win.

Re: WSBK France
I really don't get that whining claim. I've honestly never seen it from Rea
Jonathan Rea statements after Magny-Cours Race1 :
“Today was frustrating because it was the smallest of margins in the crash. I got caught out by the brake disc sensor, underneath the air duct for the front brake calipers, which just touched the kerb at the entrance to the chicane. At full lean angle this was just enough to pick up the front. The bike was pretty bent when I crashed and I could not get the handlebar into position to be comfortable. I pitted, as I was so far behind, just to get more comfortable. That was enough to let us do 20 laps to understand the bike set-up, the drop of the tyre, positives and negatives. So I am pretty satisfied that I did not give up and quit when it would have been easier to throw the towel in. I am very grateful to my mechanics who encouraged me on my pitboard every lap. We got no points but we got some data. Superpole was cool. I did not know why it went to me at first but because I did the second best lap time, I got it. It was a nice way to start the day.”
Reads like,'saying it as it is'.

Re: WSBK France
That was proper out of order, it was almost like he went for the nudge too, but I doubt it was quite like that.
Long lap is very lenient

Re: WSBK France
I think it was one of those you see where you try to counter acr something and end up doing the opposite, like when a car is coming toward you too close and you sort of jerk the wheel and end up even closer

Re: WSBK France
Magny Cours delivers the drama once again. What an action packed set of races.
Alvaro is understandably pissed and fair play to Charlie for sticking a mic in his face when the adrenaline was still flowing. He might have punched him right in the knees.
We love to watch close racing and these three have delivered the goods in spades all season long. When things are this close,bad things are always liable to happen,these are humans after all.
Does anyone really think Rea deliberately punted Bautista off track? At this level and experience all the riders are well aware of the dangers and potential injury. It's unthinkable to imagine any of them would play dodgems to gain a place.

Re: WSBK France
Nope... I'd like to think no racer would do that... i'm 99.9% convinced Rea wouldn't.
