Anyone know why Remy is not in the race this afternoon?
Superbike Race 2 started off as a barn burner. It's unfortunate it was red flagged and restarted, which led to a somewhat predictable affair, compared to the pre-flag bedlam.
Vierge did an awesome job this weekend, and not just because he was gifted a podium in Race 2 by Rinaldi, rather Xavi outclassed his teammate virtually the entire race weekend. He needed to have a strong performance because Lecuona has been outclassing him for quite sometime.
Razgatlioglu did well to stay in touch with Bautista and notch his first win of the season, a psychologically significant achievement. Locatelli has also made big strides this year, and Yamaha are surely pleased with this progress.
Bautista did what he is paid to do, bringing home wins in Race 1 and Race 2. He's already got one hand on the trophy. At this point, the key to his season is avoiding injury and no-scores by pushing too hard at inopportune times when there is little benefit to taking risks. He's done that once or twice already this season. It will be interesting to see if he can hold it together when Ducati have a bad weekend, maybe someplace like Donington Park.
On the flip side, the rest of the grid self-destructed, with BMW and Kawasaki dueling to see who could do the most damage to their season. Baz apparently broke his leg doing the leg dangle? Redding managed a 9th, 10th, and DNF. Gerloff is not returning to 2021 despite reuniting with his crew chief, and Van der Mark cannot stay out of the infirmary. Kawasaki struggled, and now both Rea and Lowes appear to be prone to crashes and mistakes, if they try to maintain pace. Lowes is 90 points out of contention, and Rea is 68 points back. The team is already in dire straits, and the satellite bikes are failing to start or failing to finish races.
But what takes the cake for me is all of the riders who traveled to Southeast Asia, but somehow missed the memo about drinking the water and eating the street food. Is it really that hard to bring bottled water and eat food from the developed world?
World Supersport put on a decent show. Oncu notched his first win, and Caricasulo won for the first time since 2019. The organizers appear to have gotten the balance right between the various bikes this season, unlike last year when the Ducati was ballasted and choked with throttle restrictions.
