Aragon, Gara2: Redding di coraggio e di fortuna, davanti a Rea. Pirelli? Oro nero!

Redding

Ad Aragon per gara2, Redding vince di palle e di fondoschiena, grazie ad una scelta di gomme contraria alle direttive del team (i gesti al traguardo sono eloquenti) e ad una spallata di Gerloff che cambia la giornata di Jonathan Rea.
L’irlandese è tanto predestinato che non cade nemmeno così, e poi va a prendersi un secondo posto che vale una vittoria.
Lo stesso discorso si può fare per Gerloff, unico a mostrare talento e uno dei pochi da promuovere nonostante l’erroraccio che ha cambiato la faccia di gara2. Tolti lui, Rea e il fortunato e palluto Redding, si può salvare ben poco di questa gioranata.

Improved BMW, which insist but do not "consist," and vanished Yamaha (except Gerloff), there is not much else.

But the real havoc is at Ducati.
Redding gestures to the engineers for the second time in two races, and that means there is no trust between rider and team.
The bad part is that he is right. Because Rinaldi is taken out with rain and made to re-enter after one lap, and Davies before doing the same also manages to go on the ground.
If you say that in Bologna they can only win by luck, you are being mean but you are not going so far from reality. Impossible to deny the flashes of amateurism.

Perhaps on second thought there is a total winner: it's called Pirelli.
The tires are all good, even the ignored intermediates. And no one on the track can be said to be belittled except in cases of wicked choice.
Such a tire maker is black gold and should be carried in triumph.

Minicronaca della gara
Partono in gara2 e ci sono ancora una vota rider che montano gomme che segnalano già di voler cambiare. Follia.
Davies subito out con una rain… inspiegabile la scelta.
Con poco meno 16 giri da fare Gerloff fa un errore che lo manda in terra e punisce anche Rea che rimane in piedi ma perde la leadership.
A meno 13 VDMark è in testa seguito da Redding e Razgatlioglu, poi Lowes, Rea, Sykes e Bautista…
E a meno 10 le cose si mettono ancora meglio per Redding perché dopo aver preso la testa della corsa, inizia a mettere anche metri.
Nel marasma Rea con gomma intermedia  è meglio di tutti, per lo meno di quelli alla sua portata, e la sua gara ha spazio anche per del cinema di traiettorie e ragazzate.
Le BMW rimangono nella media con il solo Sykes a sognare un podio che però non vedranno. Honda conclude il week end lasciando Bautista, a mezzo giro dalla fine, senza benzina e senza top ten. Anche questo simboleggia la debacle della casa dell’ala.
Redding, Rea, Lowes, Sykes, VdMark, Razgatlioglu, Gerloff, Folger, Locatelli, Mahias.

Redding
Courage, chutzpah, and luck. He puts it all in and is rightly proud of it. Right the outburst, but with the team two talks must do it.
Rated 10

Rea
The fact that he is the predestined is seen when he does not go to the ground even after Gerloff enters. He does all the rest.
Of the rest, he is always there, while the luck of others, almost never.
Rated 9.5

Lowes
The truth is that he would not get ahead of Rea even if Rea did not race. Yet he is strong. He almost seems to be in the world to make everyone understand Rea's value.
Rated 8.5

Sykes
BMW needs to light him a giant candle. Or a frankfurter, his choice. It's a shame to see him suffer on a bike not up to his standards.
Rated 8

VdMark
E’ un altro talento che però non ha la sensibilità che servirebbe per capire che certe cose, alla moto che ha, ancora non le può chiedere.
Voto 7,5

Razgatlioglu
To many, he is the anti Rea. Yet he looks like a shadow of the fury he was in last season's outings. He needs to shake it off.
Rated 6

Gerloff
For the race he deserves an 8.5, but the very costly vaccination combined at the start must be reversed. Rea, who is smart and recognizes his talent, forgives him. He understands, and apologizes.
Rated 6.5

Folger
Result remedied by final confusion. But not much more so far.
Rating 5

Locatelli
Another top ten. Applause for him. Soft applause, because he is still on probation....
Rated 7.5

Mahias
He is a tradesman and brings out the best in a situation that is new to him. There is a good chance he can show something good.
Rated 7

Supebike, Aragon race1: Stellar Rea against cosmic nothingness!

rea 100

Other than the laps removed by regulation. The Kawasaki should be taken out of gear.
With the aggravation that it's not even Rea alone anymore who's doing the heavy lifting but also Lowes, who when he's not messing around is strong for real. Although we all know that he is not consistent.

Behind them, cosmic nothingness with flashes of blue. That's what we're likely to see all season if the Ducati, inadequate today even with Davies, don't give themselves an absolute wake-up call. So many bikes on the track, and some even with the illusion of being official, are not needed.
It is not the greens that need to be downsized but it is the pack that needs to be shaken up.
Of the bad things in race1 we see a lot more.
There are the BMW that are only holding on (gasping) with Sykes, because the others are just starring in a horror movie. As soon as the Briton loses his patience, we will see some good things.
Japanese horror, on the other hand, for Honda. Qualifying is no use if you are inconsistent and inconclusive in the race.

Much applause at the triple-digit victory for the nord Irishman,who double Bayliss and Fogarty who, however, were battling on other scenarios, with other opponents and other packages.

Rea is yes a space pilot, but he is confronted with cosmic nothingness. Between satellites with very slow orbits and debris like the kind we now have littering space around the earth with, winning so much is a decidedly more possible feat.
Give them opponents, not accomplices to quota 100 from a pension perspective.
And thank you for castrating Superbike with the shears of regulatory and format choices that are as stupid as they come.

Microchronicle of the race
Those who had a good time mean that they help themselves to products, and it is time for them to explain which ones.
The race does not exist. Kawasakis fly and only Razgaglioglu offers the feeling that there is some war.
Never protagonists are the Ducati and everyone else, but at least the reds exist. The rest are unaccounted for.
You want the record, then: Rea leaves and on the last lap Lowes and Razgatlioglu battle a little bit. That's really all there is to it.
Rea makes 100 ahead of Lowes, Razgatlioglu, Redding, Davies, Sykes, Rinaldi, Haslam, Gerloff, Locatelli to close out the 10

Pages

Rea
Ungovernable. Strong with the weak and ends up here with victory n100.
Rated 10

Lowes
Concrete one-off. With the best bike. Other story over, pe today.
Rated 9

Razgatlioglu
The Turk is there and he is strong. Yamaha is also the n2 power.
Rated 8.5

Redding
The bombshell of the lineup with what should be the title contender. And he doesn't appear to be.
Rated 7

Davies
All those predicted soffisfactions for him do not come even on the track where he should be strongest of all.
Hard to think, while hoping for it, that the rest of the season will be one of leading ones.His is a negatively unattractive result.
Rated 6

Sykes
One man on an inadequate bike run by a team that seems even more inadequate. Can only hope in sprint races.
Rated 6.5.

Rinaldi
He replaced Davies. Make that we are still on our first outing and cannot be judged negatively.
Rated 6

Haslam
I'm in the three, he had said. It didn't go. But at least he finished on his feet.
Rated 6

Locatelli
Here's the good thing. Top ten debut on a bike that is not the very latest. A note of blue dressed in blue.
Rated 8
