Not a single minutes coverage on this weekend as far as i can see Quest has BSB on Sunday from 1ish. Shite Jeff.
No Discovery+ with the horror show thats virgin media. I "upgraded" to their new remote this week too, which unsurprisingly has made the viewing experience even worse. Ive also put the phone down on them twice while trying to leave this week, but we will undoubtedly get there next week. Horrible shit shower of a firm.
I didn’t see any of yesterdays race Why no Sam lowes ? Highlights of day two on Eurosport tonight at 9pm.
Yeah looked empty and most of the stands were open so it’s not like Silverstone which only opens a few. I do find it amusing that toprak is winning because of him while Alvero only won because of the bike
You could also say Topraks winning because its equal now, not because of weight or machinery advantage, which is kind of what we all want to see. Epic race 2 just managed to watch what i managed to record yesterday (grrrr). Redding staying with Benovo on a Ducati next year?
I would also add to "its the bike not the rider" debate with AB!...... if hed won more than a 125 title between 2006 and the time he got on a ducati you could suggest otherwise but he didnt win a pot to piss in and its fairly clear that bike and his weight + talent combined was a BIG factor in his sudden re-emergence in 2019.. And i have no beef with Alvaro.
You can see he is a decent rider though on that Ducati. just works for him and his size and he has put some great races together coming through the pack. Toprak is a different level that the rest, sadly i can't see him getting into GPs anytime soon, too many young guys coming through and won't demand a big salary and dare i say it Toprak will be too old.
I would like to ask Alvaro what effort he made himself to make up the weight deficiency. When you hear Acosta put 7kg of muscle mass on through the winter to be able to ride the moto gp bike as well as he has, youd like to think Alvaro would have at least attempted to put a dent in that 6kg wouldn't you?
One is barely a teenager, the other old enough to be his dad. Only way he’d put weight on is less exercise and more pints and pies! They seem to have done well to remove all of Alberto’s advantage and given it to toprak. His bike is easily as powerful, more so watching this race, than the Ducati.
Not sure you can say “they gave Toprak an advantage”. Let’s not forget he’s on a new and what everyone assumed was one of the worst bikes on the grid this year (and everyone else must get that advantage too?). Ps is Alberto alvaros even smaller brother?
