Interesting decision by Petrucci to break his metacarpal while defending his third sport in the championship with two rounds to go Danilo Petrucci reveals freak gym injury ahead of Estoril WorldSBK round | Crash.net Just noticed Scott Redding's still 10 points ahead of J Rea in the WSB standings too, despite moving back to BsB six rounds ago. Definitely chosen the right time to retire just hope he doesn’t go crashing more bikes and bones in moto cross afterwards (as I read this week), hardly like he needs the ££££ Looking forward to this with only 30 odd points between TR1 and NB11.
I wouldn’t be betting against Bulega right now either. Anyone who watched the previous round could tell they found something on Sunday. That long drag to the finish line at estoril too
Bobby Fong sounds like some kind of trendy techno dj and he’s set himself quite a strong target of challenging for the top 10. Has he ever watched WSB I wonder or just like all Americans have an extremely over inflated opinion of himself? Currently 2.1s off tenth. https://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/20...+final+two+rounds+of+2025+as+a+wildcard+rider
Ryan Vickers fifth where the absolute fuck did that come from?! Bulega top at the end of day one by a gnats ballbag. The signs are there for a decent weekend if you’re looking for a close title fight.
Can’t see him being in wsb next year seems the rich boys are taking over talent again. I’d so love to see a decent moto 2 team sign someone like him out if the blue and save next season for the brits. Looking pretty grim atm.
No slowes or petrucci, maybe bobby fong will get top 10 after all. TR1 smashes the lap record by over a second in superpole, more like super lol You have to feel a bit sorry for NB11 although it’s not over until the fat lady starts warbling and all that.
13 seconds ahead of third (and his team mate) but still beaten by a complete one off I think we can all agree.
Not a bad race weekend. TR will still take the crown next week but Bulega will be way out in front on his own next year. Commentary is still painful, Bulega was 1.8 ahead and then when it went to 1.9 they said TR was pulling him back in? and so many more mistakes, the camera team keep missing decent parts of the races again as well.
Agreed - the comms team even called out for the live feed when being showed replay of moves when there was stuff going on at the front.
Bulegas won more races this season than any other current rider has in their whole wsb careers barring rea and Bautista. Nearly double the points of AB in third (his own team mate). If he does walk it next year as a lot of people are predicting he’ll have deserved it. Classy in defeat too.
Assume you meant Toprak and yeh obviously, was going from second down really. Bukegas been class this season. On and off the track
And the next time TNT comms are “quizzing” FIM bods, I’d really like one of them to ask why they scheduled bsb and wsb final round on the same day, as MotoGP and f1.
I’m supposed to be riding to Brands on Sunday but weather looks grim. I cant face driving with the queue to get out so may bin it. Just try to tune out everything else, especially the course radio and hopefully you’ll avoid results.
Hand on my heart I’ve had some of the worst times of my life trying to get out of that place and up to that shithole m25 and associated tunnel/bridge on a Sunday night after BSB. Never again in a car.
