    It sure is weird to see Rea not podium all weekend after so many years of dominance.

    Why? He's on a Kawasaki, not a Ducati.

    Not sure it qualifies as a silly season insight, but Morbidelli was in the Yamaha pits.

    I don't see redding on a bmw next year after this weekend. GG continues to be number one bmw. It seems like redding doesn't care anymore he just wants this season to be over.

    Also how much money did they have to throw at Raz to get him to jump on a bmw?

    ...and when interviewed by BT Sport (Toseland) on the grid he said WSBK was not in his future.

    The regular Dorna stream offers little in the way of insights other than Steve E.

    Now that the Turkish contingent has decided to follow the deutschmarks, they can go ahead and award the 2023 and 2024 world championship to Bautista, and get back to racing in 2025.

    But Nigel, kennon said they expect to be winning on the bmw next year . I'm a bmw fan and I know that isn't gonna happen in a year.

    thats if they even manage to get the bike running, i think sykes wasnt even able to finish/start a session or race until the 3rd round because it was continuously breaking

    Unless Bautista crashes and is out, Toprak wasn’t winning the title on the Yamaha this year or next. I think BMW may be the only manufacturer trying to challenge Ducati.

    Why is the WSBK BMW such a piece and the MA BMW is very competetive?

    Logic versus passion. It'll be great! The new tires don't deliver adequate traction on corner exit?
    BMW: Tell Toprak we have designed an articulated triplex parallelogram swingarm linkage with onboard sensors to give real time torsion and suspension travel feedback.
    Ducati: Tell Alvaro to scoot back in the seat.

    10 Ducatis on the grid next year including Iannone!!
    I’d love to see JR make the switch.

    It would be nice if he could get back to the front where the racing incidents happen.
