WorldSBK I Round 8 I Motul French Round I Sep 3-5 2021

Another race weekend is upon us. I bet Locatelli brings the chase and makes it a 4 way battle this weekend. I hope Garrett can get some aggressiveness back in his riding. I love that we have a tie for the championship this deep into it with Redding within reach. I love that Raz now has a teammate who can and seems to want to help him. Maybe Lowe’s can do that for Rea but I dunno.

 

Oh and I hope GG has been let off his leash

 

For those who liked Valentin Debise while he was racing in the US, this is the weekend he's had circled on his calendar all year. The guy actually ran (and won) the French supersport championship solely to get the wildcard offered last winter by GMT 94 to the winner championship.

This is the first round of the world supersport championship I am actually interested in.

 

Go GG!!!!

 

he ran the czech round and got a dnf and 7th, glad to see hell be back this weekend

 

The deal came together in a rush when Caricasulo bailed on the team. The initial plan was just for this week's race.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

I think he should go into marketing a line of track protective gear starting with ...
Debise Knees Pucks.

 

Hope for a good race from Toprak and Rea.

 

Man I watched a clip today of Topraks first SS win in 2014. Holy shit did he bowling ball everyone and take weird lines to win.

 

I hope to see Redding get at least one win. The Duc went well in the wet last year plus it seems he has a good handle on the hard braking stuff now as well.

Rooting for Toprak to take the big prize for the most stylish late breaker out there.

 

was it at this track?

 

i think rea falls and this is a memorable weekend for the chip.

gg - p8, leash is still on

 

Yes it was. I can’t find the link on their website but here is the clip of his first win on their FB page

thanks for sharing! that stuff up the inside was gg esc haha and how about popping a wheelie to go over the line with barely a bike length lead jeeeze

 

I think the caution flag Garrett wears will remain though the season.

 

Debise killed me when he was giving a post-race interview a few years back and said "ze bike is sheet"
