Fucking hell. KTM will have a hell of a team next year. Acosta, Binder, Bastianini and Vinales.

It's exciting times mate, there's no doubt about it.

No MotoGP this weekend but I'm watching WSBK

Not the most exciting race. Toprak wins ahead of Bulega and Bautista. They are also the top 3 in the overall standings.

You are a proper fan mate, it's beautiful.

Second WSBK race is on but I'm not watching

Toprak is raping the rest of the field

Exciting times ahead

Indeed mate. Many good riders still looking for a seat. Alex Rins, Joan Mir, Alex Marquez, Fabio di Giannantonio, Miguel Oliveira, Raul Fernandez, Jack Miller all don't have a confirmed contract yet. Also some hopefuls from Moto2 such as Ai Ogura, Sergio Garcia or Joe Roberts.

[shenmue]

Joe Roberts is a great prospect imho.

Joe Roberts is a great prospect imho.

He is highly rated. Trackhouse Aprilia might sign him. They are yearning for a competitive American rider

[shenmue]

We just have to wait and see what happens, the future is bright though there's no doubt about it.
