2024 World Superbike - Most

I can't think of any rule change that could target Toprak but could they cut BMW's performance?

Toprak is pretty much winning the mfg's championship for BMW all by himself the same way Marc Marquez did for Honda. I don't remember any calls for Honda to be neutered.

Good weekend of racing overall with unpredictable results, except for Toprak’s dominance. He’s looking really good at the moment, and his nearest rivals are making mistakes. World Superbike has a way of turning around the midseason mark, and who can forget Melandri’s meltdown in 2012, but BMW must like their odds.

BMW currently enjoy some super concession, including expanded test days. They will probably lose their super concessions in 2025. The FIM could also adjust their tune slightly in the future. Hopefully the FIM will not scrap the ballast rule, but maybe the adjustment should be fewer kilos since Alvaro is struggling.

Remy had a good weekend, and so did Bulega. VdM found some form for race 2. Unusual and inconsistent season for everyone except Toprak.

Glad to see Sam Lowes in one piece. Can’t remember the last time a rider highsided in the braking zone.

Where and how exactly do they carry this weight? In the Red Bull Rookies docuseries I've been watching, one of the top kids is quite small and has to carry 10 kilos.

Yeh those super concessions are likely gone, can’t see how the bike that will probably win the world championship would retain concessions

Raz is on another level

Apparently has a pneumothorax so not racing this weekend.

The way he hit that barrier, he could have been seriously hurt, i think this is ,his first crush.
