Pretty enthralling race today.. MM looks to be over the worst of his injury now - he's like 95% on the left and 80% on the right, and still as fast if not faster than all but a few

That race was not without drama, but the aerial shots make the track look like an Aldo Drudi advertisement. Not that I'm complaining mind.

A strong team for HRC WSBK 2022.
Here's hoping the bike is good too.

Lol. That's the end of those guy's careers. Honda WSBK is a mechanism to quietly shuffle riders who once showed promise off the world stage.Originally Posted by steveyb

Hard to argue with that. Honda really haven't been putting much effort into their WSBK machinery. The various European teams Ten Kate etc did extra development work. Cosworth were hired to extract additional performance at one stage The factory seemed to be putting all their eggs in the Repsol basket.

Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

Next up, Helmet scrapers! You read it here first.
Jeez wouldn't half make a racket.
From what was looking like a proecessional race it got real busy.
Glad FQ won championship but its a pity that race didn't give FB another win to be proud of.
Next year could be real sticky at the front end. Let's hope Suzuki and KTM can find that extra poofeenth of whatever it is to bring them back up again.
MM is of course not allowed to become dominant to the same level, glad to see him able to win races again, but. . .
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

awwww, come on.. He might be ruthless on the track, but that doesnt means he's a bad person :/

Um, I was meaning it makes for better racing if he isn't just whipping everyone like before. Doohan famously said "Am I supposed to slow down?" Or something like that, when there was criticism that he made the racing a bit boring (again or something like that).
No he wasn't supposed to. But would have been better to watch if there were more people who could run with him.
I remember ACMN running an article, something like is Simon Crafer saving GPs? And that was an Ausdie magazine FFS.
A lot of something likes in above post, but too lazy to look up citations. I'll leave that for resident anorak.

The most deserved rider of the season won IMHO.
Wears his heart on his sleeve and because of it suffers a little from the pressure of which he handled much better than last year.
But there was the odd crack starting to show last couple races.
Next year will be very interesting to see how they all go against MM at full fitness with the Honda better sorted.
Honda might be getting there given Pol's result added to MM.
The overriding thing for me over the last week is the sportsmanship between the riders over the last week or 4.
God to see hard but fair racing and good grace after.
Time for Rossi to go and I'm not sure Dovi will make it next season.
Taking a liking to Jack I hope he does better.
You never know MV is making steady progress.
Condolences to Pecco he made the end of the season just sooo much better for all of us armchair racers.
Congrats to Fabio
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

The Honda will never be "sorted". HRC make engineering solutions, not motorcycles for human racers. Pol's result were purely down to the cooler temperatures giving him rear grip which he always struggles with on the Honda.

i think that is a bit of the mark.It wasnt so long ago that the honda was probably the best bike on the grid.All the manufacturere go through times when the bike doesnt work. I think Honda WILL try to make the bike more manageable. They have seen that only MM can ride it
They don't care that only MM can ride it. So long as someone is winning Honda are excused from having to make a bike that can accommodate someone who isn't willing to completely ruin their health to win on a Honda. They have been like this for since Freddie Spencer. There is always one rider who can dominate on a Honda in any given time period, but they are utter aliens, every one of them. Spencer, Doohan, Rossi, Stoner and Marquez are phenoms. Lawson had enough brains to make a point and get out of Dodge. Gardner kept riding until he was more often broken than not. The only exception to that rule is Alex Criville and even then he probably got his championship because of Doohan's settings and data.
