@RacingArmchair Kyle is riding exceptionally well this season, I think his efforts are greatly assisted (like Redding) by riding the Ducati Corse machines which have a significant advantage, have to ask does Glen have a Corse bike or a hybrid?

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair It truly sucks!

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair Does look good doesn’t it, for 26 it will be interesting to see which Ducati team goes with the double side swingarm V4R?

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair That sucks. 250K Vickers people fronted and he loses (potentially) his ride after only one year! Aegerter was interviewed on TNT, apparently Go Eleven want 400K from his side for the ride next year…

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair Never the less I feel for Lando as having gained momentum by winning three out the previous four races it was a shit time for a mechanical.

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair With a 34 point lead got to think this is Piastri’s to lose now..

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@gazzadaz Yep, agree on all points. I didn’t think this circuit was that great for WSBK but at least there were the occasional overtakes. With MotoGP it was single file.

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@cerberus935 @RacingArmchair ..Unless they are replacing VDM with Petrux? And Toprak replacement is still to be announced ??🤷‍♂️

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair True.

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair Indeed…and if Nitrous are in a position to sign Glenn as a second rider, how does Joe Talbot feel about that??

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair So is Tarran going to replace Scott at MGM Bonovo?

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair ..and a having a great start leaning on Fabio on the outside of turn one - ballsy!

[bikesportnews @bikesportnews]

Tarran Mackenzie and MIE Racing Honda have decided to part ways.

@gazzadaz @RacingArmchair @suziperry Yes see where you coming from…seen his name linked to the Fogarty team for next year so a run out this year wouldn’t do him any harm,

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@gazzadaz @RacingArmchair @suziperry Changing the subject - any thoughts who will stand in for GI at Hager PBM?

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair Yes it would be a very interesting family conversation..”do you remember when you took out yer brother “🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

[Al Smith @alsmith61]

@RacingArmchair @TracySm28556213 Maybe..who knows what happens in the background. I mentioned it because when Pecco won the COTA round, yes Tardozzi was in Parc Ferme to congratulate but I didn’t see Gigi 🤷‍♂️
