Bautista!

[poo at Paul's]

100% record in Laguna Seca, 3 out of 3 for Bautista!

Is he now to be known as "Norway" ie "nil points"?


Has he blown it? Is Chaz now up there at the sharp end? Is this because he has finally clicked with the Duke or has he got the same stuff now as Bautista?

61 point lead at Jerez, now what, 80 odd point deficit? Crazy.

I read an article yesterday that said he ran out of arm strength in the race, not sure how true that is, the whole field is pretty fit these days, but that is what the article claimed.

Bautista looks like he's just switched off..hopefully he'll switch on again or it's ebike time

I'd missed a few rounds with moving house, but the last I saw he had a healthy lead, watched Laguna and I was amazed he'd lost all of that advantage and was now on the back foot.

To be fair though if he's buggered his shoulder/arm up in Race 1, it's going to be an issue for a couple of weeks, at least he's got the summer break now to recover but it looks like JR will probably wrap it up again now, he's not a crasher.

They’ve also had a problem with the forks that means they’re not working as expected. I believe that was fixed for Laguna though

Tracks he knew he won at. Tracks he doesn’t know or hasn’t been to for a long time he didn’t win at.

Didn't I say that months ago?

I can only think the bike was so similar to a motogp bike that he could just use the settings he had from motogp at all his known tracks. Tracks he hasn't run at it seems to have gone wrong as he has no reference.
Bit of a hero to zero season really and all credit to Rea for keeping his head down and working. He could have gone all big time charlie in the press about how unfair it all is in a gardner,doohan,stoner,sheene,roberts etc etc way.
