Discussion
Race 1 Rea gets Bautista by less than a tenth. Also top BMW in 8th was Ukrainian stand-in for Michael Van Der Mark, Ilya Mykhalchyk.

It really was an excellent ding dong at the front. I don’t know how many times the lead changed.
Lowe’s maintaining his usual habit of falling off at every opportunity, didn’t see how he achieved it this time!
The new super sport class with the balance of power is looking like it has potential.

One odd thing, watched the 300 race, I do feel it should not be allowed that a rider in a junior category like this should be allowed to come back, his career has obviously derailed so move on.
Also, do you not think if Dorna were not involved Vierge and Lecuona would not be on factory Hondas A lot goes on in this series now that raises some interesting questions about how rides are secured when riders move down to SBK and its support series, eg no way should Carrasco be on a Moto3 bike in my eyes, yet there she is lol

Continuing the same great battles at the front as last year, only with a different, more competitive Ducati rider, some hard passes from all three but they seem to expect it from each other and don't complain, just hope Bautista doesn't continue what he started in 2019 and run away with it.
Amazing save from Baldassarri in the 1st supersport race, how he managed to get it back upright never mind win the race was a miracle.
Hard to see Redding struggling so much on the BMW, especially in the 2nd full race, although it was funny when he stopped the bike, clenched his fists and shouted at it, I can just picture him screaming "just F
G work will you".
Been there many times, never with a bike but usually a laptop or other device, when you want to put your fist through the screen.
Looks like another great year ahead though.

Half expected Redding to go full Basil Fawlty and start hitting the bike with a stick.Amazing save from Baldassarri in the 1st supersport race, how he managed to get it back upright never mind win the race was a miracle.

Not sure what he expected going to BMW though - it wasn't exactly a stellar bike last year and the competition seem to have found even more pace this year.

Lol. I have always thought the Lowes twins should go into the aggregates business when they retire from racing. They have spent so much of their lives inspecting gravel that they must be experts by now!I think the pair of them can be on the pace but are at their absolute limit at world level to do so, whereas a Rea, Toprak or the top guys in Moto2 are riding a small amount away from their limit most of the time, only pulling it out when they need it.
Alex was superb in BSB, he rode beautifully all year and against a considerable opponent in Shayne, but has flattered to deceive in SBK, a bit like Camier who was very unlucky with injuries.
