WorldSBK I Round 5 I Assen I July 23-25

Looking forward to a great track and getting to see the smaller classes again. Toprak comes in the points leader. GG is top Privateer and fortunately has now at least been on the track once. 60% chance of rain forecasted for Sat/Sun as of today.

 

Go Garrett !!

 

Look for VDM to go like hell here.

Assen is one of my favorite tracks on the calendar.

 

Ya mine too. I love how there’s passing in the last and first turn.

 

Rea and Redding bound, Toprak does no win and gg makes the box (not superpole)

 

Pirelli bringing a new front tire to Assen.

https://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2021/Pirelli to bring new front tyre solutions for the Dutch Round

 

This will be interesting. Things went well for everyone when they brought a new front tire last time as I believe everyone raced it.

 

GG signed through 2022 with WSBK.

 

Gonna be one of those Friday mornings where not much gets done at the office. All times are Eastern

 

I thought everyone here said he was going to GPs.

 

A lot of uncertainty at Petronas Yamaha. Rossi goes, or not. Does FM go factory. A lot of wait and see, especially with FM’s injury. Garrett can still go if Yamaha says so. Yamaha has just made sure no other manufacturers can touch him in 2022.

 

Who said that? I know a lot of people hoped but I didn’t think anyone was like “oh he’s def going GP”. I could be wrong.

 

^^^this^^^

 

Brother D comes to mind because he was so definitive but I'm sure I have seen more.

 

I stand corrected

 

Great FP1. GG got right up to pace. Redding and the Ducs look strong in one off and race pace. Should be a good weekend.

 

The WBSK app has live audio up for FP2

 

I want one:
