It's traditionally a bad track for Yamaha,so at least a podium is an improvement.
The Ducati with Bautista on board is a missile.
The Kawasaki turns a heap better now.
Where were the rest?
Some cracking racing this weekend from the WSB lads
I think Buatista could have his hands full with Rea and Toprak at other tracks where the sheer top speed of the Ducati isnt a factor as Kawasaki seem to have made a step with the factory bikes.
Reddings weekend was a shocker and sad to see as often thought he would be the one to excel right from his Moto2 days but never quite made the right choices

If relatively uninformed outsiders (me) can see it would be a bad idea to jump from a factory Ducati,where he could challenge for the title,to BMW,which has never looked like a contender,then I have to wonder wtf Scott Redding's management were doing when they went along with the deal.
Isn't the point of a personal manager to make decisions in the best interests of his client?
I think Scotty had already been told his seat had been given to the fella with the girly braids. No one else was recruiting. BMW was the least worst option... with the benefit of hindsight I reckon he's have been better off on the rock and roll.

That makes more sense,if true. I'd love to know the process.

Baffles the shit out of me.
Like KFB said I was under the impression that Bautista had already secured the Ducati seat and Redding had to find another seat, of which there was very little choice in WSB and didn’t want to go back to BSB so took the BMW option
Scotty needs to keep all his toys in the pram, zip his lip, knuckle down and work his ass off. No matter if the BMW is a (comparative) dog, he has to be #1 rider in that garage (in fact across all BMWs) if he wants to stay in WSBK.

Finally caught up, cracking set of races. I know some don't like Rea (I don't mind him) but bloody hell he can ride.

Your worse than me for being late to the party.
TBF I've known for a while, but don't watch WSB much so I forget just how good he is.
