WSBK - Czech Most

[wull]

Czech round this weekend, Toprak doing the usual now, he was fastest in FP1, maybe some closer racing this weekend which I love to see but when Toprak’s winning I’m not overly fussed

FP2 results

[wull]

They were discussing during FP2 that BMW had won 13 races in WSBK since being there, from 2009 - 2023 and that if Toprak wins 4 more races this season he will have equalled that, so 5 more and he will have surpassed that. Incredible stuff.

[Skub]

Given his form so far,it's hard to see past Toprak running away with the championship this year. It's a daunting thought for the others the fact he's still in the early stages of shaping the bike the way he wants it.

[wull]

Almost in the 29’s

[Skub]

It's cool to watch him grow from the quiet,almost introverted type to the more confident,outgoing man he's becoming. Quite the transformation when you see him being interviewed.

I follow Motoamerica and I’d use the term “top rider” loosely, this season has been better than some of the previous seasons but the field is so poor that you can be relatively shite and still come top 10. One of the recent race weekends he was like 7th and finished 50+ seconds back.

The previous seasons there was always 2 guys at the front but this season like I said has been better, just a pity that Cameron Beaubier has been injured and missed a few races as he’d probably be leading the championship.

"The bike it is not shit, just needs good rider"

LOLZ!

All whilst calmly down-shifiting....

I like it when he lets Freddie take his place on the podium.

[MrLongbeard]

And live racing isn't being shown on Eurosport tomorrow

[KungFooBob]

That's why all the cool kids have Discovery Plus.

[MrLongbeard]

Got it, hate using it, both the website and the TV app have the feel of being coded by an 8 year old

[wull]

Not entirely sure why you’d think that, it’s piss easy to use and work’s ridiculously well.

[MrLongbeard]

It works, I just don't like it, don't like the iphone generation graphics, don't like how unorganised and cluttered it is.
There are 6 or 7 icons for motorcycle racing, roughly the same for car racing, several for cycles, several for martial arts, would it take so much that all similar sports are in a top level folder first, instead of 84 choices to scroll / search through there need only be a dozen.

And if it is too much work and they absolutely have to have 80+ choices, group the similar sports together

It’s organised alphabetically, I literally click on sports, then all sports, then scroll almost to the bottom and click on Superbikes, I mean it couldn’t be any simpler than that

Ducati self destruct button pressed on that last lap in the sprint race too funny.

[KungFooBob]

I'm buying a 54 sticker for the car rear window.

The last one I had had was a 46 on my 330i.
