Hopefully, he usually goes well there albeit he was pipped last year as usual by the Ducati flying by the R1 but it’ll be a different story this time that’s for sure.

Toseland reckoned there was no contact with MVD but I think his front tyre just clipped the rear tyre but it was difficult to tell from the camera angle. Still, some save.

Do you think Toprak will be ahead before the ten laps are up in the sprint race? I wonder if Alvaro can get a better start and finish well for a better grid position later in the long race.

I really would like to see Toprak get the record for most consecutive race wins, that would be special. First season on a bike that everyone said he’d struggle to win on.

On current form it would be mad to bet against Toprak for anything. The best the others can hope for is he has problems during the race,he seems unstoppable at the moment.

So that’s Toprak’s 4th treble in a row, his 13th win in a row, the new record of 12 which he set yesterday morning is now 13 after the evening win. That’s ridiculously good when you factor in the level of competition and with him being on a bike that many said he wouldn’t even win on, he’s absolutely dominating the class, he’s a level above.

92 points lead over Bulega and 132 points lead over Bautista in 3rd place. They go to Magny-Cours next albeit it’s a month away I think and Toprak usually goes well there, could it be another treble? That would be incredible.
