Nah,it was more the daft Toprak penalty for 1/3rd of a second. That's just crap getting in the way of good racing. A blink of an eye ffs.
A third of a second is enough to pass a rider in pit lane. He was just plain stupid to go under the time limit.
How was he plain stupid? It wasn’t like it was intentional, he had a timer on his bike and went when his timer was at 63s, maybe if you weren’t so stupid you’d have seen him clearly slowing down as he approached the exit and then went when his timer was at what he thought was the correct time to go, if that makes him stupid then you’re an absolute melt.

Did BMW try a two stroke donkey for the second race?

Fucking Eurosport made a mess of race 2. Or Sky, or someone.

It wasn't their fault that it was delayed. I watched it OK on catchup.

Well, if it's delayed, press a button on the big computer that tells sky to record it later/longer. It's a multi billion pound company, it's not a big ask.

I do understand the reason, but FFS it can't be that hard.

They do it every year, if it's not delays its moving the program around from ES 2 to ES 1 or trying to slot some other sport in between, and every time it breaks the series linking

It's one of the reasons why I binned off Sky and now get Discovery+ which has the Eurosport channels as well as Discovery channels. Means I can just get the TV guide up, head backwards and watch whatever program I want on catch up. Seems to work really well so far.

Toprak on the race 1 penalty.

Scott Redding got a penalty in first race. I was confused at first coz he'd ridden well to get high up in first race.
But dropped 2 places in the results.

On my little black magic box I can go back 7 days on any channel I want and skip the adverts.

Great for the away races.

BMW's go bang in a very spectacular way.

Hope Alex Lowes keeps up the good work.


Edit: Yes, yes I'm late to the party but in my defence I'm stuck with highlights on ITV4.
