No, but a sensible handicap system might level it a bit.

It's not the winning, it's the environmental campaigning that annoys everyone.

I don’t think anyone is complaining about him winning, in fact I’m fairly certain most have been mentioning his straight line speed after the races that Toprak wins, I’d have said the ones that JR wins but how long has it been? 👀😂

That many different bikes/engines, all so close!

Just been announced that Victor Steeman has passed away following the crash at Portimao where he came off and was hit by a following rider.

He finished second in the championship as it was the conclusion of the class this weekend

Been a bad week with the loss of 2 youngsters following similar accidents

RIP Victor :(

If it couldn’t get any worse I’ve just read that Victors mother has died of a heart attack, that’s so sad. I think it says two days later after Victor passed she passed away. Such a shitty cruel world.
