WSBK starts this week, one rider out already

WSBK starts this week

JR is out of the first race after he crashed in test.

TR had a nice spill as well.

Hoping does some damage this year.

 

I saw that this morning - the last couple of years have been a real nightmare for Rea.

 

It sure seems like Rea has been snake-bitten since leaving Kawasaki. I expected things to improve for him when he moved to Toprak's old seat, but things haven't gone so well. Meanwhile, Lowes has done pretty well as the #1 guy at Kawasaki.

 

Bulega will be dominant this year on the new Panigale.

I predict a lot of 1-2’s with him and Toprak, and a decent gap back to the others.

 

Maybe should have stayed at Kaw...

 

They brought in these rev rules originally because of Rea. Then the year he moves away from Kawasaki all of a sudden they can have more revs now. Listen I think Alex Lowes is a fine rider, but if Rea had stayed he probably would've finished higher than him in the standings.
