WorldSBK I Round 9 I Hyundai N Catalunya Round I Sep 17-19

Garrett…again…damned his luck.

 

GG crashed on the sighting lap…

 

And wadded up really cool looking 60th Anniversary bodywork. 2nd in FP3, down on the sighting lap.

 

SMH

 

Ducati locks out the podium.

 

Still not sure why Ducati dropped Redding. That was some very smart riding today by Scott.

 

Well at least no one can bitch about Gerloffs riding

 

it rains everyday in the UK, so it makes sense that he did well in the rain.

 

Yeah! and it rains everyday & night In Ireland.....

Good reason for a Brit like me to live in the good Ole USA. Love me N.C now, but still loyally support UK racers.

 

They sent him out on slicks to make sure he didn't win.

 

Sent Toprak out with a faulty bike also. Or, the Yamaha R1 doesn’t do rain well. The Ducs seem to like it…who knew…lol.

 

Money. He wanted more and Ducati wanted to pay less. Simple as that.

 

They’re saying that GG touched the white painted line and that caused him to crash. I thought these tracks were mandated to have special paint that isn’t slippery like oil when it rains?

 

Where did you hear this? Because the way I heard it is Ducati is essentially freezing the development of the bike for 2022 and putting all their eggs in MotoGP so Scott wanted out for that reason.

 

Welp, GG took himself out, Toprak didn’t finish, and Redding won...wasn’t far off with that one. If GG can’t mentally get over the boss’s company speech then maybe it’s time to just move on, thanks for playing.

 

Careful there are those that might experience a myocardial event over talk like that.

 

Yamaha sabotaging both bike s!!! The livery must have confused the agency guy and he said F it, I’m not getting blamed. Both will be fucked.

 

It was a mistake to come ‘here’ BEFORE watching ...

 

On a serious note.


Good race from Toprak. He’s in stellar form right now. Even in the wet. That should worry Kawi.

 

TS66 with a new watch !
Mr Q for a long time
