fullscreenaging Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Cracking weekend of racing!! New faces and some talent this year. Loads of drama. I know Philip Island is does not always reflect how the season will go, but Bautista couldn’t have asked for more in his title defence. Gonna be another belter season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not watched it but I was a bit puzzled that Brad Ray is only competing in the European rounds only 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not sure what’s going on there. Is he still with BSB and just doing those rounds in WSBK? I’m off to do some digging…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 This is on the WSBK website. https://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2023/Bradley+Ray+joins+2023+WorldSBK+grid+with+Motoxracing+Yamaha I don’t think anything like this has happened before and I can’t really see what good it’s going to do him. A part time contract is no good for any racer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He must be getting paid enough to be out there doing it all! it seems a bit strange to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Didn't see any of it because we were away! seen the results. I don't understand the Brad Ray thing either! (must be down to costs) McPhee did well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackholesun Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Enjoyed that second race felt bautista got a bit lucky as he was miles behind but it's not good for the sport for him to be blowing everyone away imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that's going to stop him from winning every single race is himself. There is no way anyone is gong to beat the combination of him and that bike.

Working Class Hero Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) As for Scottie, I wonder what his next move is... He doesn't really have options and I can't see BMW making the improvements they need Edited April 25, 2023 by Working Class Hero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullscreenaging Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 I don’t think Bautista will win every race. I also think Brad Ray did excellently. First time in the class, not the best package, but earned some points. I wonder if Vandermark’s injury will be career ending? It looked nasty and it’s his right leg again.

If he carries on, there is a chance that he eventually lose that leg! Edited April 27, 2023 by Working Class Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackholesun Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm surprised it was only a fractured femur as in slow mo it looked like his leg was hanging on by the skin below the knee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Looks like the Bautista show again in Catalunya so far! It's raining today though! that might make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Yup got caught up today on the "racing" Bautista romped it home again with ease! Its getting boring now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
