Could be a boring one lads, Toprak 1.6s faster in Fp1.

Toprac faster on lap 5 in FP1 than everyone but Lowes all session. Thats impressive learning ability. Or did everyone else just take it easy. Top 12 within 0.75s after P2 so should be even closer once the bikes are dialled in more.

If Rea wins, Toprace needs 33 points for the title. So a 4th/3rd/4th would be enough.
Gerloff 3rd, maybe he could ride shotgun for Toprac after his misdemeanours earlier on this season.

I hope Rea wins buy the penalty point amount for maximum controversy.

So are there team orders? Seems like a situation where Lowes could help Rea and several Yam riders could help Toprak?
Might be an interesting race from a strategic viewpoint.
All things considered, Toprak doesn't do boring anyway.

Now its a 5th and 6th place if Rea wins both races. As confirmed, it is monsoon season in Indonesia. Although earlier in the week the forecast rain didnt arrive. WSS R1 was good. Hopefully we get at least 1 WSB race in before it rains. |

Question most googled this morning 'when is monsoon season in Indonesia and why are they holding a race there?'

That was tense!
Great title for Toprak, I've enjoyed this season.
Crescent team champions as well, they have had a steady rise to the top. Deserved it after their effort.

Looks like we might get a race. Someone tell Shaun Muir he needs to start unpacking those boxes  Looks like a good track and place to go racing, just not in monsoon season. Not too sure why they didnt start the races earlier, they could have fitted in the races before 3pm local time. They said the world feed & TV but I reckon most channels would be out of their schedule by now. We are lucky with Eurosport they can ditch a rerun of Premier Speedway final. |

One of the best races of the year I reckon.

My recording timed out. I guess I'll have to find race 2 on catchup.

WSS was brilliant. I did not think they were all going to finish.

Race 2 was on the Eurosport highlights show.
Got to say race 1 was nerve racking but the best man won in the end. Track looks good but the race organisers need their heads examined with their scheduling.
Race 2 was brilliant. Amazing grip in the wet on new tarmac
