WorldSBK | 2019 | Round 4 | Assen | April 12 - 14

Lots of racing this weekend

but this is probably how all 37 races in WSBK will look like

From: WSBK

 

He’s bound to crash once or twice. It’s in his blood.

 

He only crashed in GP riding around at %110 trying to keep up with everybody. Now that he's in WSBK he can ride around at %95 and not really push the limit too much......

 

This.

 

I absolutely agree. But we’ve all crashed riding at 95%

 

And I hope he wins every race this year. I’m just saying as The son of a former sports book, if I was a betting man I’d bet on one or two.

 

I don't think I ever GOT to %95 lol. Maybe MY limit, but certainly not the bikes.

 

Jhonny bae is getting used to brides maid status. Now the others smell blood in the water he won't be getting second every time.

 

So who wants to bet that AB won't win each race this weekend?

 

This guy?

 

I think AB hasn’t really been pushed yet. I really think he IS riding at 90-95% of his ability . Who knew the delta between Motogp and WSBK was of this magnitude? If AB keeps this up, I see him on the factory team in MotoGP next year.

 

If Petrucci doesn't perform and Miller doesn't step up his results I can see that for sure. Bagnaia looks like dog$hit in races.

 

Hell some of us even crash on the out lap/pit road/ cool down lap.....

not me by the way.

 

We're 2 rounds into GP, and 3 rounds into WSBK and already you guys are talking about shuffling factory seats around lol.

 

Damn... how am I supposed to be productive this weekend???

I’m curious if WSBK will limit revs on the Duc? Maybe if Chaz comes into his own they’ll try to level things out a bit?

They mentioned during Race 3 that part of the plan for their test at Aragon was to run with a self-imposed rev limit, in the event the organizers decide to turn down their revs. I don’t think it’ll make a difference in results though.

 

If they do reduce their revs, wsbk rules only allow 250rpm changes at a time, so don't expect any obvious changes.

 

I love seeing motocycles race, but there is a point where the product is diluted. Think we've reached that point. The results are pretty similar in all 9 races.

 

I don't think the product is diluted at all. We're just seeing a dominant combination of bike, rider and team, and they're coming into a series with an already established high level and mopping the floor with everybody. It's not because the rest of the field is so bad (diluted product) it's that AB, the V4 Duc, and the team are just so good. I think it's awesome, and hope for this level of dominance to continue

 

Same top 2 in 9 races in 3 weekends
