It was another weekend of Ducati/Bautista domination, though Toprak was able to halt Bautista's win streak at 11 by taking the Superpole race victory. Redding had a nice showing in Race 2. Top Brit and top BMW. That hasn't happened often for Redding since taking over at BMW. Petrucci also managed to score his first podium of 2023 for Ducati. Maybe he is finally coming to grips with the Pirelli tires. Gerloff also had a decent showing in the Superpole race and Race 2. Top-10 finishes on a customer BMW are not easy to achieve.
On the flip side, Gardener and Aegerter had mediocre showings with the Swiss rider struggling to find grip. HRC achieved nothing. Lecuona scored 1 point, and Vierge scored only a handful of points due to his mixup in the Race 2 bedlam. Even Rea had a mediocre showing at Donington.
The only consistent performers in WSBK right now are Bautista and Toprak.
Supersport is turning into the Ducati show as well. Bulega is becoming unstoppable, and Mazi's missteps and Donington are moving the championship closer and closer to Bologna.
