Go,go. Go Johnny go.
Johnny be good.
Hard to bet against him,but the sharks are always circling and there are several this year to give him a run for his money.
Redding,Raz,Rinaldi,Gerloff,Lowes and Bautista. I don't see Sykes or Van Der Mark being a consistent threat over a season,mostly because of the bike they are on.
On paper it should be a hotly contested year. The Honda will be fast.

When I watch it I really enjoy WSB, but I just never get the time after watching GPs Should make more of an effort.
And then there's BSB as well!

I would like to see Redding take the title this year just to shake things up .... He did well last year on a new bike with some tracks he didnt know. This year its a more level playing field

Just watched FP2 and I just realised what's up. WSB use different camera sites to MotoGP and you can't see as much. You don't see the huge bloody wall (that I saw from the road when I drove past) and you don't get a good view of the corkscrew.
And they're 2.7 seconds slower then the MotoGP FP2 from last year.

Are you particular about which position over the line?

Re: WSBK 2021 : Who's winning the overall ?
First over the line would be good... but staying out of the dirt would be excellent. He's got better at that, but sometimes picking up SOME points rather than 'win or bin' would be a better championship strategy. Rea (and Sykes when he was in his championship year) were excellent at that.
McFee and Lowes seem to have the same problem.

Re: WSBK 2021 : Who's winning the overall ?
I was away for the weekend, but y'all either didn't watch or care enough to start a thread.
So for a brief one.... here's the current overall
JONATHAN REA 110 KAWASAKI
TOPRAK RAZGATLIOGLU 75 YAMAHA
SCOTT REDDING 72 DUCATI
ALEX LOWES 62 KAWASAKI

Gerloff for me with numpty of the weekend. Chaz with a noble mention for a 2nd place. Rea doing what Rea does and just stacking up points after points....

Mostly because of Eurosport's cockups,I didn't even get to see the final two races until today.
Gerloff is going to get himself a reputation for taking other riders out. It's allvery well talking from the comfort of my chair,but it's a fine line between aggressive,but clean and aggressive,but reckless.
He'll have a grid penalty for this one.
