The test was behind closed doors so not much detail in the press, apart from nice weather, lots of laps done, everything fine and everyone happy, apart from Iker Lecuona who bust a finger on day 1.
Toprak wasnt there but says he will use #1 on his bike. Good move.

Scott Redding is pretty much doomed at world level. He's too big. Sounds like the BMW is tiny as well. He needs to go back in time and ride a YZF750.

Be interesting to see how well Baz goes on the BMW, he's even taller than Redding. May help Redding having someone with similar issues in the BMW camp there could be data sharing across the teams. Having said that, some of the issues may be in Scotts head. Baz strikes me as a "Just rag it" type of guy who doesnt over think stuff.

Baz has also historically not done a great deal. He is a bit like Xaus and has a flourish now and again. If you are Tom Sykes, he also cost you a championship.
He's also been around long enough to be a bit of a journeyman. He's not hot young talent anymore.

Bautista better pick it up after slagging Redding's period on the Ducati off. Seems to have forgotten the bit where he went to shit and lost the title.

He could do with winding his neck in a bit. At Milan test he's nip & tuck with Gerloff who Redding has the comfortable measure of.

There's no mention of a test beforehand, so anywhere near the top 10 wold be a good result for Tarran. |

BSB is kind of good and bad these days if you want to move to WSB. It's good in that I suppose learning to ride nearly as powerful bikes without TC can't do you any harm (or maybe it does seeing as all top level racing has TC)?!? The costs are sort of under control and you have a chance on most brands.
The bad is BSB machinery used to be hand-me-down WSB stuff which also made wildcarding a lot easier. I remember going to WSB in 1999 and John Reynold did ok and was mobbed my spectators that ripped bits off his bike. I guess it stops the mega budget Airwaves type of stuff but I guess it means the transition to WSB isn't as easy.
This said Redding pissed it but he was already a big boy.

With his history regarding team mates my money is on him taking Toprak out.
