World SBK | ROUND 06 | Prosecco DOC Czech Round | 29 - 31 JUL

Am I high or didn’t Abraham win a moto2 race?

for some reason I remember that. Or maybe Not.

 

He won Moto2 in Valencia in 2010 didn’t he?

 

Announcers said Duc is looking for the next winner in the team to succeed Bautista and flat out said Rinaldi isn't the answer.

 

I don’t remember them saying Rinaldi isn’t the answer. But we will see

 

I don’t think I’d use the word “intimidated”. Besides he and Redding being mates, after two hard pass attempts he realized Redding was seeing bloody murder after Toprak tried to punt him off the track and wasn’t gonna give an inch to anyone on planet earth.

Discretion was the better part of valor there as Redding would’ve taken them both out of Rea kept pushing it.

 

“If Rea”. For some reason my autocorrect keeps changing that to “of Rea” and my thumb is still too swollen to fix it on my iPhone.

 

And realistically, as long as Bautista, REa and Toprak are in WSBK, everyone else is fighting for 4th position.

 

God dang flat tire on the last lap sees gg go from 6th to who cares

 

Not sure about on the feed this weekend but they’ve definitely said it on their podcast.

 

Fucking awful luck! Ugh, heartbreaking. I feel for the kid.

 

They had five weeks off, did two race weekends in three weeks, now they have six weeks off. Odd.

I hope GG can use these six weeks to continue to improve. This last race should give him some confidence in himself.

It appeared Lecuona’s rear tire may have been very low too.

 

Absolutely correct. Three of the four guys who finished behind him in the top five went on to race MotoGP. We're not talking about some fluke with half the field wiping out in front of him either. He earned it.

Exactly: intimidation!

 

Whoa!

That was pretty uncool of him. I remember watching him dive into the gravel trap after he moved away from the bike and thought it was suspicious.

 

That could put a small dent in his WSBK ambitions.

 

I’m honestly wondering if he did take a little bit of a knock to the dome and then said he was faking it just so he’d pass protocol.

 

"Hey Aaron, hold my beer..."

 

Good to see BMW back up there. We’ll see how they do at some other circuits but it’s encouraging. WSBK is better than MotoGP right now.

 

These races were really good this weekend... Toprak is such a demon on the brakes!

Now the BMW is up there I can't wait for HRC to get their crap together. Its going to be awesome

 

Ugh. Gutted for GG.
