This weekends WSBK races!!!

If you have not had a chance to catch this weekends WSBK races, I would highly recommend them. Probably the best race weekend in years in my opinion. I wont give it away. I hope the championship continues like this the entire year!!!!!

This weekend’s races were fantastic but I’d argue that pretty much every race last year was just as good. I think you liked this weekend’s races more because Ducati is more competitive than last year. I can definitely respect that.

Ducati being more competitive is definitely a plus. But having multiple guys banging handlebars all race is Pretty fun to watch. Multiple lead changes, almost loosing it only to save it… All 3 races were awesome!

BSB races were awesome too!!

This is what's missing in MotoGP, big debate over wings, aero, ride height at the moment. Passing is getting to be only when someone makes a mistake

Or formula one as it’s called!

Good racing for sure but to me still a snooze fest as is motoamerica Gee let me guess who won again, Rea, Raz or Bautista? Not that I’m a fan at all but NASCAR has had 11 different winners year.

On any given Sunday you would be hard pressed to get a top ten list anywhere near correct in a NASCAR race. They did a good job with the variables to make it relatively unpredictable. These other competitive Motorsport organizations need to do something.

It is boring when the same dude/ driver/ rider wins all the time. At least F1 this year has not been the Hamilton show and WSBK has not been the Rea show (yes I know Toprak did win the title last year which was refreshing as he deserved it). Its been a couple of years but Moto GP was the Marquez show for years. At least in WSBK this year it looks like there are 3 guys battling it out. I would like to see the Hondas in there as well

On a similar note, I would like to see them get rid of the spec tire rule. I know it was supposed to make it cheaper for the teams and with everyone on the same tire it was supposed to make it closer racing but I miss the tire competition. For me that was part of the equation. Certain tires worked better under different conditions with different bikes/ cars. Some lasted longer than others and some were better in the wet. For me it was one more element that needed to be right to win with whatever package they were running. And in the end, if you didn't like the tires you were running, you could change them to a different brand. But for some reason, which completely eludes me, F1, Moto GP, WSBK, Moto America don't seem to listen to me. I just don't get it...

Seems to me that the heavy hyper-prioritization of aero performance ruined racing in F1 (so significantly that all they they had to do to reintroduce actual racing to the series was completely redesign the cars), and it threatens the same in MotoGP. We’re already seeing it with this emerging concern for front tire temp when following other riders.

How do you watch? I downloaded the motulsbk app on my phone, but it’s not in the app store when I search on my tv.

Video Pass!!!

I have the video subscription. It was a little pricy but gives video coverage to all of the practices, qualifying and all of the races. You can watch live if you want but I usually watch them after they have already been run. The only down side is sometimes i know the results before hand.

WSBK is lucky to have such great riders and rivalry, its an awesome show. That 3 of them are head and shoulders beyond the rest is inspirational, its a joy to watch stars at the peak of their careers.

Yeah the pass is only way to go if you want to see everything in the paddock, grid and race action. I subscribe to Moto America, WSBK, Moto GP and also stream BSB, Canada SBK as well Australia SBK.
