WSBK | 2023 | Silly Season

In WSBK?

 

It's a mystery to me too. Qualifies great and then drops like a rock.

Also, props to GG31 this weekend, putting it on the box!

 

GRT looking pretty strong for next season.

 

Hopefully they will quickly learn the Yamaha WSBK golden rule: Don't Touch Toprak...

 

New BMW. At least the S version. Don’t know details of the ‘23 M version.

New frame and revised geometry stand out to me.

“Advanced “Flex Frame” with more flex.

Chassis geometry with new steering head angle, offset, caster and wheelbase.”

It took them awhile. Hope this means more competition at the top.

 

Well,shit. Not even one week later…

 

Nozane to VR46 Moto 2!

 

Did I miss something? Who is going to be Egg-eaters teammate next year?

 

Remy?

 

I take this question as a personal insult.

How the fuck does that happen? I could see if VR46 were on Yamahas in MotoGP, but otherwise?

 

Ooh, you might be onto something. It's the second VR46. Are they affiliated with Yamaha?

 

I'm so confused by the Nozane move. So many questions. lol

 

Yeap.

still, it’s a weird move.

with Rossi’s team he drives for leaving Audi, it could make it easier for his motogp team to eventually move to Yamaha.

Good for him. Kinda weird thinking just a few years ago he was racing AFM in California.

 

I still say Valentine is missing out on a marketing opportunity: Debise Knees Pucks! They are the best; it says so right in the name!

 

That took a lot of lobbying the boss.

Superbike announcement coming Friday.
