Phillip Island next weekend!
 
Those Bimotasakis are looking quite racey early this season...
Handsome looking bikes as well imo. As long as someone is challenging Bulaga each weekend I'll be happy.
 
World Women's Circuit Racing is a support race for World Superbikes. They follow WSBK on select tracks (marked in yellow in the first post above). Portugal was the kick-off race for their season, five more left.

The races are free to watch on YouTube:


I've been watching since the last few races of last season. Most of the women have personal vlogs which show the struggles of sponsorship, training and logistics around participating in a racing championship.

I've been following Tayla Relph (now Collins). Very eye-opening to see what these racers have to go through to pursue their love of the sport:

 
The surprise of yesterday and this morning: Iker Lecuona.

How much has that Honda been holding him back over the years?
 
The Honda doesn't work part 2: Xavi Vierge (on Yamaha now). Top non Ducati.

The Honda doesn't work part 3: Jonathan Rea...
 
Anyone think Bulega can achieve a perfect season in 2026?

Pole position + Superpole win + Race 1 & 2 win in every single venue?

No real competition, the only one that could stop him is himself, either unforced error or a mechanical, IMO...

1/3rd of the way through the championship and the streak is still alive!

Racing isn't close, except for a few mid-pack skirmishes and the odd poor rain start from Bulega, but I can't take my eyes off this championship. It's like watching a juggler who is continually adding plates to his juggling routine and you wonder how many he can get up in the air before it all comes crashing down on him...

Will the pressure get to him? Or will Balance of Power rules come into play mid-season to handicap him and the rest of the Ducs in some way...?
