Vdm is like Rinaldi and goes well once or twice a season. He's been around long enough to rise to the top if he was going to. Sykes is old hat and should take Brookes's ride.
Toseland commentary is 1/3 interesting bike technique, 1/3 toseland, 1/3 the racing. Better than Hodgson which 25% race, 75% Hodgson stories.
Greg Haines is 100% clueless and talks as if the Ducati is a motogp bike and Redding should be able to just power to victory.
Good weekend for Redding overall. Good as it gets for Rea. I think he will crack at some point.

VDM hasnt improved much recently. JT mentioned his wages were a lot higher at BMW to swap teams. I dont think Paul Denning will mind too much about losing him.
Locatelli has been a revelation for a rookie, which is rarely mentioned on TV. He will be forth in the championship fairly soon I'd say. He is making some of the riders who have been there a long time look very average.
WSS champ last year, 2016 9th Moto3, 2018 15th Moto2, 2019 18th. Do WSB teams need a WSS team to develop younger riders who, less face it, haven't made the grade in the MotoGP feeder classes for whatever reason, skill or equipment.

I reckon the top 10 in Moto2 would be WSS championship material. Odd how Superglue didn't do well in the class though.

"He will be forth in the championship"
Sorry to be pedantic Phil but you mean fourth 🙂
This is the best racing in wsb for years and Rea is pushing harder than ever. I hope Toprak wins it. The guy is a revelation.
The first 3 laps of the sprint race were heart stopping.
Lets face it Tom Sykes is doing better than VDM but is past his peak and wouldn't be a bad choice to sort out the Honda. Bautista back on the Ducati would be tasty.
