That first race was brilliant.

Massive respect for Redding the way he rode in the closing stages with no rear tyre left.

Loved watching Rea and Bautista pushing each other to the limit too.

The swing arm seems a positive move for redding .

I was there today, it was hot! Nice to see a good sized crowd again after last years 4000 limit while the football stadiums were allowed to pack them in!!! I think tomorrow might be a bit much temperature wise. Will be interesting to see what happens with the tyres.
The racing was very good in all classes today, apart from the delays, red flags and restarts in the SSP race.

Good to see Toprak back in the groove; good for the championship. His lap time consistency was astonishing.

I’ll be there.

My first WSBK race in a good 8 or 9 years.

Clearing off in the front like Lorenzo , very boring not what we're used to from toprak.

Will bautista reset after yesterday's crash and zero points or is this the weekend where it all started unravelling ?

Great ride by redding no way his tyres are going to last the long race though.

Is bautistas overtake of lowes legit ? He completely cut the chicane.

Get yourself to Cadwell or Knockhill then.

Toprak looking to be back to his best this weekend, and looks good for the treble.

What happened to Hickman?

I’m watching the final race now and he’s not racing.

Awesome final race. How does he brake that late and that hard so consistently? Unbelievable.

He only brakes with one tyre in contact with the track so he's able to brake in half the distance everyone else does wink

I bet the local experts from BSB thought they would feature but seem to have been blitzed.

Doubtful.

Getting on a different bike with traction control when there used to no traction control is a big task but tarran did well .

Not sure about that. The difference in Electronics between the 2 types of bike is vast. BSB lads would always be on the back foot.

Toprak is a special special talent, the way he uses those brakes is unbelievable!
