Ducati back to full strength with the return of Davide. Rea still the man to beat. The guy has yet to make a single error.
 
I missed the races since I was at my friend's wedding. Are they worth re-watching?
 
Kinda boring to be honest.

I agree, Rae was just unbeatable...

If the rest of the season carries on like that he would be crowned champ long before the season comes to close....

Just goes to show how crap the Honda was / is the last few years....and if they using that same bike in Suzuka 8 hours it wont make a damn bit of difference if Stoner is riding in it and on it ...

Honda should have promoted Rae to MotoGPs a long ago...now they've lost him for good...

I think Rea hurt his career all by himself. He's certainly talented but a few years ago the guy was known for his "riding style" not his podium finishes. HRC gave him a MotoGP ride but I don't think anyone could take him seriously back then because he spent so much time pulling gravel from his ....

I'm not a huge Rea fan, but I think this year just proves he spent most of his time pulling gravel from his ... because he was over riding a ..... bike...

Even with his consistency, I'm amazed he hasn't punted anyone yet. i wonder if this will give him a 2nd chance to prove himself on the big stage.

Clearly you remember the Rea I remember from a few years ago. I'll admit he's not the same guy. He's finally matured and the talent he always possessed in on proper display. I still doubt he'll make a splash in GP ever. I believe his time has passed for that.

I really can't see Rea making an impact in GP. I think his time has passed too. But ive always liked Rea. He was possibly too loyal to Honda and I suppose he was thinking of the long game and a Honda motogp ride full time.

Now he's on a decent ride in World British Superbikes, he's quick ( never in doubt ) but he appears to be consistently finishing
