    Round eight of the 2023 Superbike World Championship from Most Czech Round was wet for the first 35 minutes of action today!

    Good to see Rea win again.

    Surprised to see him being linked to Yamaha. I wonder if Kawasaki don't have the upgrades required penned for next year.

    I thought he signed on for 2 years and the expectation was a that the bike world be developed more. Wonder what Yamaha have to offer him. I don't think this would be a money thing.

    Toprak was very unlucky, but great racing over the weekend at the Most track.

    The racing was great. More competitive than usual with the weather and the tyres

    I think toseland is very good on commentary

    Is the Kawasaki going to be more competitive going forward. It's not great seeing the likes of Rea and Marquez on inferior machines indefinitely

    Johnny Rea off to Yamaha!

    I thought the combination of Johnny and Phil Marron would be

    a match made in heaven but Phil is off to BMW with Toprak.

    Rea must be desperate to get back to some form of winning! 🙃

    Ya can't blame him, that Kawasaki took a bit of nose dive in performance with the dicking around with RPM.

    Or is Toprak at a different level. The combination of Bautista and the Ducati is phenomenal!!!!

    Tommy Bridewell is off to HRC and leaving his championship winning team PBM. Odd move, perhaps a money move.

    Although, in Donnington after the two of the PBM guys crashed out, Glenn was being interviewed and said something along the lines of, I know who the team want to win the championship. Which would lead you to believe he wasn't well liked in the team. I dunno.

    Glenn for the title next year. Gwan Glenn.

    Also that means there's an empty seat at PBM pretty late in the day. Who's likely to take it? Rory Skinner? Haslam?

    No doubt bridewell will be mouthing off saying he is going to win the championship on

    a bike Glen couldn't.

    He wasn't liked among the PBM guys because of shooting his mouth off. Honda must be

    paying him well all the same. Can't see the Fireblade being competitive.
