    WSBK Discussion (SPOILERS!)

    Season off to a good start, Bautista absolutely dominated. Bummer for Raz to get taken out.

    It's nice to see Rea struggling. LOL. All those years he had the fastest bike and dominated I started to root against him

    Can't forget all the years he was on the slowest bike and held his own. We'll forever argue on this!

    I might need to tune in this year...and actually watch last year.

    Rea choked badly in race 1 today, I love to see it.

    Bautista just fucking dominating these fools.

    Re: 2023 WSBK (SPOILERS!)

    Looks like the only way to stop #1 was for Rea to run him wide in superpole. Karma bit that little bitch in race 2, so all good.

    Re: 2023 WSBK (SPOILERS!)

    2024 could be interesting. Rea and Toprak switching teams, and new rules for weight, fuel and revs. Also two new circuits.

    Looking forward to round 1.

    Thanks for this, I forgot WSBK's first round is so early.

    Re: 2023 WSBK (SPOILERS!)

    Iannone appears to be serious about his comeback and ready to fight. Rea off to a rough start!! Actually the top dogs (Rea, Toprak and AB19) didn’t have a stellar round 1. Nice to see some new blood in the mix at least.

    Re: 2023 WSBK (SPOILERS!)

    The Sprint and race 2 were awesome! Glad to see Rea struggle. I never liked him when he was winning. Verycool to see a mix up at the top. I have a feeling the Bautista freight train is gaining momentum though...

    Absolutely, I've never understand the Jonny haters. Guy has won at a race every year that he's been in SBK so far (2009-2023)

    How'd Alvaro do when he went to Honda? Right...

    Because fans aren’t driven solely by numbers, it’s also a sport of personalities. Some people just don’t like Rea.

    I was a huge Simoncelli fan. He won exactly 0 races of the big bike. Meanwhile, Lorenzo was getting wins and I couldn’t have cared less.

    Isn’t this true of all sports??

    For a lot of (miserable) people, having someone to root against is more important than having someone to root for.
