Sam Lowes showing good pace. Lots of names who I'd expect to be further up the table.

I stopped watching WSBK for many years. Then started again when Scotty entered. Enjoyed watching winning races on the red bikes.

Not much chance of that happening again any time soon.
Will probably pack it in again.

MotoGP at Portimao wins this weekend. Amazing to watch how they do it, compared to my feeble efforts in October :D

I don't get that. The racing is just as exciting as it ever was.

I just never got into it. Used to go to all the UK WSBK races when I worked for Riders for Health as we got free passes.
Sometimes didn't bother watching the races.

I thought it was the same old story and Toprak had no tyres under him,I couldn't believe how quickly he closed dowm Bulega in those closing laps. A great effort from Bautista too from 13th on the grid.

Now that was a race. 8-)

Just finished watching that sprint race, holy moly! Incredible, that’s why WSBK is much better than MotoGP for watching.

The racing with 6 laps to go was just ridiculously awesome.

Just watched all three races in a row on Discovery+.

Great stuff from Toprak. He's dragging VDM up the field pretty well too. Shame Scotty isn't his team mate.

That sprint race was probably among the best races I've ever seen,certainly in recent years.

They were saying that so far this season ( two race weekends ) there has been the same amount of different winners as last season.
