I'm going to make an effort to watch the WSBK this year. I've even bought an online subscription to Eurosplurt.

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
It has it's moments, but has suffered at times from both lack of personalities along with small grids and spread out fields.
Sometimes you can get a decent 4-5 rider battle, but often it's a bit spaced out at times.

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
As Weeksy say's at times there is some very decent racing in WSB, but I find it hard to get into it. I think most of it is due to watching Moto3, Moto2, MotoGP and then having had my bike fix so don't have the time to watch WSB.

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
Could be some good racing this year with Redding having a point to prove, Rea defending yet again and riders like Toprak and Gerloff having a year under their belt on the Yamahas. Rabat is a fast rider on competative machinery so the Barni Ducati could punt him among the sharp end as well as Chaz with his own point to prove after getting the flick from the factory Ducati squad.
Watching some of the twitter feeds today it appears Toprak has been continuing his massive pit lane stoppie games at the current test
Heres an earlier one in case the twitter one doesnt work

Ya never know what they are testing,so the lap times aren't the whole story.

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
looking forward to this season, hoping Jonny can keep breaking records and Redding pushing him along the way, I can see Toprak and Lowes all up in there faces, TBH as long as either Scoot/Jonny/Alex wins ill be happy.

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
It seems a very long time since the end of last season. I'm looking forward to having too much racing to watch!

Re: WSB 2021 : Pre season fun and games begins
I'm hoping for a classic season in honesty, it really should be close, with the Honda more in the game now, the Yamaha hopefully finding form under Toprak and the Ducatis giving Rea a run for his money, we should be seeing some close and tight racing !
