So it would seem Toprak is up to speed with the beemer... 2nd ! Stephan Bradl on the GP bike is 8th. Buddy of mine is there now and posted this about 1h ago. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1013590260135599
Queue another couple of months of me looking at testing results, reading all the offseason stuff, getting all excited or disappointed about various developments and performances, and then realizing 2-3 rounds into the season that all my subsequent predictions could not have been more wrong.
Guys taking times from early winter testing as an indication of something more than the bike runs when they put fuel in it. Anybody interested in buying a bridge in Paris? I'll give you the BBS discount.
Obviously i've always been an AI fan, but don't you think things are looking pretty good? OBV Alvaro prob testing stuff and I am assuming that Bulega and AI and the other Ducati top dudes are starting right out on proven setups. Either way, I am for the first time in a while more excited for WSBK
Alvaro is still dealing with neck/back issues from his last crash in '23. Wonder how much weight they have to add to his bike. I think this is going to be a really good year. Lots of guys capable of winning. Wonder if AI is sponsored by his plastic surgeon/botox injector
I forgot about that part. Wonder what the recovery time is supposed to be on that.... LOL I don't care who sponsors AI, as long as hes running up front, sideways, and pissing off other racers.
Maybe a good idea for your flat track program? Pitch sponsorship to the biggest botox and filler injectors! INJECT some life in the series....lol. I'm with you tho, I think Crazy Joe is going to hurt some feelings this year
man look at the speed difference between the RC213V and the fastest SBK on a track without any big straights
