WorldSBK|Round 11|Portimao,Portugal|Oct 1-3

Guess Baz is pretty good...

Raz and Rea are full tilt every race going directly at each other. Going to be an interesting last few rounds. Hopefully someone can step up and give Raz what he gives.

 

I still like Raz’s chances, because when you think about it, Rea’s crashes have all been mistakes, where Raz’s crashes have been either from technical issues or being taken out by someone else. He seems to ride fast, but within his abilities and not beyond.

 

Bold statement here, Mr. Risk Taker.

 

So they're going to Argentina in two weeks. Where Rea has won on, and Toprak has never been on the Yamaha.

Then last race weekend is a all new track for both.

 

Portimao was supposed to be a great track for Rea and look what happened. Toprak is on tilt right now.

His bumper fell off.

 

I wonder if Toprak being out of the race was the reason for GG’s better result.

 

I wonder if this is the same fender from Race 1. It would be funny if it was cracked or damaged from when he plowed in to the side of Rea in Race 1.

 

Umm, yeah everybody's result was.

That's kinda how it works.

 

Yes, GG’s pit board showed TOPRAK OUT
REA -26.0
GAS

 

Not like that. My impression is he’s been fucking around in 10th place because he doesn’t want to screw up TR’s championship challenge again. With him out of the race, there was no risk of that.

 

Rea's front let go immediately in the superpole race. Not sure thats on him. He's said all along he cant feel the front on the new Kawi.

 

Apparently Baz got a penalty for nerfing Bautista off his bike...

 

Fuck dumb. Does it really take Two and half hours to figure out if a penalty is necessary?! This “seat of the pants” rule enforcement is making me lose interest.

 

Bautista was well beyond the limit on the front end all weekend. He pushed wide when Baz pulled the okie doke tight out. Shit penalty.

 

Racing incident. If you run wide maybe don't cut back into the bike that just passed you. Toprak uses Rea and Redding as a berm with no penalties even when the door isn't open.

 

What in the actual fuck is going on at Yamaha...

 

WTF
