SPOILER ALERT - WSB RESULTS

[TheTwoOfUs]

All 3 races had the same result

1. Bautista
2. Rea
3. Lowes

Looks like Bautista's going to run (ride) away with it this year. Rea seems resigned to the fact and the only thing in doubt is if Lowes can beat Rea.
Haslam not quite at the races yet.
Davies still struggling on what is in effect the same bike as Bautista, having a 15th, 8th and DNF.
Laverty had to bail out on a fast corner due to brake failure and Camier had a coming together with a wild card and has a possible fracture of his leg.
Sykes BMW was about 14mph down on the other bikes but he seemed happy enough because the chassis is performing well. He also had a DNF due to as he put it "lack of forward motion".

A while ago I was thinking "Chas on a new bike is going to give Rea some grief", how wrong was that. Not much wrong with the Ducati. There's some good close racing once they move the camera off Bautista.

The real puzzle for me is Bautista, he's Spanish but talks English just like an Italian, very confusing.

I don't know how you are watching it but I'm having real problems with the Eurosport internet feed, good a lot of the time then it just freezes.

I'm watching through BT Sport live feed. No problems. It's the same for MotoGP and World Speedway Championship.

The other odd one ! What on earth are BMW playing at ? Allegedly a works effort and the commentators kept saying "stock engine, it's over 200 bhp in the showroom". So poor old Sykes can't keep up down the straights and then it went and stopped on him.

A whole new meaning to works entry.
