WSBK - Cremona

[wull]

Toprak will be sitting this one out as well, not good but I suppose it’s the sensible thing to do. Rest and recover for another full week and hopefully be closer to full fitness for the Aragon round.

So potentially Bulega could be leading the championship by 7 points if he were to make a clean sweep, it certainly has spiced up the remainder of the season.

It'll give the others a chance with Toprak taking a break!

Johnny Rea out too,I know that makes you sad Wull.

I’ll be honest I’d prefer to see him do better than he is, can’t be easy going from being the best to running mid pack majority of the time.

How do we think Tommy Bridewell will go?

If he scores points,he'll be doing well.

I watched some of wsbk today and highlights from yesterday. First time I've watched any in over 12 months. There's not much in the way of overtaking now is there? It seems very spread out throughout the bunch

Cremona being a new circuit they were probably being a bit tentative at times albeit there was some decent overtakes yesterday and this morning. Not watched race two yet.

Hopefully Toprak is back for Aragon, I think he still has a 13 point lead but I’d have to check.

Race 2 was dull

The sprint race was the pick of the bunch. Race 2 I fast forwarded the last 10 laps.

I wonder how much of it is down to circuit designs as much as it is bikes ? Or is it the fact that bikes and riders are so closely matched now with brakes, electronics etc that there's no discernable difference so it's tiny tiny amounts meaning once a rider gaps another, they're unlikely to get it back etc.

Cremona is known for being a difficult circut for overtaking,so some of the procession could be attributed to the track.

Wasn't it first time there?

Exactly the same here. Nice for Petrucci & worked out well for Toprak but a bit of a dull one.

Yeah,I think so.

First professional racing that's been held there, they said in commentary.
