Redding on top. 0.6 ahead of Rea in 4th. Still hope he may do something desperate and crash out to liven it up.

Forgot about WSB. Superpole -Rea 15th, Redding last. WTF. Will have to press re-wind on the recording.
Ryder was touting a Honda win before the end of the season. Haslam 2nd. Could he do it?

Separate big crashes for Redding, Barrier and Rea in the first 5 minutes.
Good to see Ryder on top of things, Redding 'can get out on his 2nd bike, surely'.

Toprack pole then.
Air temp was 17c and rising, track temp was 20c and rising at the start of superpole. BSB riders would be dreaming of that. Air/track temp was 9.3c at Brands for FP2 this morning.

Good race today.
What happened to Redding's bike?
Rea bloody impressive till his tyres went.
Feel sorry for Toprak for not getting the attention and Davies who seems to have been robbed of his Ducati seat.

Too little too late for Davies. Pity Redding probwbly won't get near the front until race 3.
Talk seems to be a new zx10 is coming.

Just seen some tumbleweed blow by on here....
Rea crashes and Davies wins and nobody says anything?
Nice gesture of Rea to give Fores the credit for the manufacturer's title.
Ironic that both Davies and Fores are without a ride next year?

Last year Davies was 6th in the championship. Maybe the seeds were sown then, Bautista beat him comfortably despite his crash strewn 2nd half of the season. Before that, 2014 year 1 at Ducati he was 6th, then 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd. He has been up against Rea winning the last 6 years. So he has done ok I reckon. This year he started off slowly. Rinaldi nearly caught him up in the championship after his good result at Aragon2. I reckon the management decided then Rinaldi was going to be signed. After that, Rinaldi's results reverted to average, Davies' improved. Seems harsh now to not keep Davies there.  |

Last 4 rounds. If Rinaldi doesn't step up the Ducati management are going to look a bit daft. Maybe as Davies has been there and hasn't won it they want some new blood, but I cant see anyone beating Rea as it stands. Not even Redding next year.  |

Rinaldi is cheaper than Davies. Ducati seems to be struggling to contain costs in all classes.
But yes, I think it's rough on Davies. Not necessarily that Ducati let him go, but that there are no other decent offers around. Will he end up swapping bikes with Rinaldi?

Davies has been given more than enough time and is proven to be not up to beating Rea over a season, Redding is a open case as is Bautista but Ducati need to try another bloke from the Moto GP lower order because apart from from the aforementioned two there is no one up to it.

Ironic that both Davies and Fores are without a ride next year? I'm watching all last weekends racing on my planner and left the WSB till last due to it being a foregone conclusion. Just got the last race watched yesterday and to be fair the racing was decent. Toprak was outstanding, as was Chaz. Even Rea was riding like a wild cunt and some of the moves between Chaz and VDM was paint removing. Hopefully Chaz gets fixed up with a decent team next year as ironically he got to grip with the V4 after the P45 was already printed. I rate Gerloff and like his style but he needs to quit thanking Jesus for his performances or i'll quickly take a dislike to the cunt. |

Ironic that both Davies and Fores are without a ride next year? Because of BSB clog up they didn't show race 3 live, it was on Eurosport player or something so most people probably didn't catch it. Nobody cares about Chaz anyway, he doesn't 'push the needle' like certain personalities do. He's a bit invisible. |

Nobody cares about Chaz anyway, he doesn't 'push the needle' like certain personalities do. He's a bit invisible. A tad unfair on Chaz. For years on the V2 he was the best Ducati rider and exciting to watch. The switch to the V4 was clearly difficult for him especially when Bautista was blitzing everyone and making the rest of the Ducati riders (in fact every cunt) look daft. If the Go Eleven team haven't yet signed Rubin's replacement they could do worse than sign Chaz for next season. |
