"WE CAN'T CATCH A BREAK"

[@jlzimmerman75]

I love the insight on the races. Gerloff has to be the coolest guy in the paddock. His commwnts on Toprak just again shows how good he is. Eight place in race two is a start. You'll be on the podium again shortly 👍

[@jeffjackson8686]

do you ever wonder when they say "We look at Toprak's data and we don't know how he does IT"- What is the IT? What is it Toprak does so much better?

[@jlzimmerman75]

@@jeffjackson8686 It's probably braking to the point where other riders would go wide, or carry corner speed where others would tuck the front.

[@jeffjackson8686]

In Garretts last vlog he mentions it again and says about Topraks data "he is slightly better everywhere" I think it's fair to say the "IT" IS- TALENT...

[@selcukcilek555]

I like Garrett's mature attitude towards the rider who has achieved it. Because how much frustration it can bring is much more visible on Garrett's Vlog. He really lets it out there.

[@ducanh244]

1. Hang in there mate, it's matter of time to be on the podium again. You got this Johny. 2. Editing is getting quite banger tbh, well done to whoever is making video production for Johny's channel.

His name isn't Johny lad it's Jonathan so would be Jonny 🤣👌 All love mate but please get his name right, it's painful to see 🤣

[@a.a.8037]

Looks like Toprak's results hit him hard.

[@gloriousmka9818]

@@a.a.8037 If the result hit him, he wouldn't call him a legend. Like Redding, he would say "I can beat him, I'm better" and console himself :)

[@selcukcilek555]

@@gloriousmka9818 Agree. Nevertheless you need to watch Gerloff's Vlog to understand how much frustration Toprak's results brings to him (or other BMW riders) Only Garrett is a fine guy who still can show respect to the rider who achieved it. So it can hit you hard but with a mature personality as Gerloff has you can handle things better than a nonsense talking Redding. VdM is on level there with Garrett.

[@polluxjamtracks]

Dear JR, what are your thoughts on the R1? it seems to still have its problems on the straights. Is Yamaha Racing planning to do anything about it?

[@captaintoyota3171]

They have concessions in motogp and wsbk. They had private tests etc recently. They r pushing but euro bikes are dominating ALL motorsport right now. Actually kawa was better cause the wsbk engine rules now allow them to get more top end. I think the R1 is limited in what they can push out of it in its current form. Japanese need to get serious or itll be Ducatti/bmw/ktm dominating next decade

[@JohnHonda101]

You'll get there champ, I was like a bear with a sore head after the racing and its not me thats racing. It could be worse, you could be on the Moto GP bike then you'd be in trouble.

[@weaselman24]

You use the struggle and let it fuel you and you channel that anger and focus into a 7th championship.

[@paulcooper5610]

Hopefully you can give yourself time to get used to the Yamaha and soon be back where you want to be at the front, I remember how you used to ride the Honda Fireblade a decade ago always having to make up the time on the corners. I'm 100% you will be there very soon.

​@@alanoliver379 "gifted" BS. Bautista lost it. JR won it. There was no gift. World Championships are not given.

[@alanoliver379]

@@deanmsimpson opinions are like Well you know..... Fact is Rea was looking okay & fast in Testing (like he has in his last 2 Kawasaki seasons) & come the Races he's struggling. Begs the question was he just showboating for laptimes in that period whereas other people were delevoping their Bikes. And what's nice to see is that now Alex Lowes doesn't have to let someone finish ahead of him, He is Beating Rea at all the circuits so far.......

[@deanmsimpson]

@@alanoliver379 I was replying to your earlier comment re. "gifted". You've moved on to a different point now. Yes, agreed Alex Lowes is doing great. Maybe he's now been able to flourish now it's not the 'second' rider in the team. I don't know about "showboating". I'm quite sure he's had to keep developing the Kawasaki for 8 or 9 years. The goal posts have moved. Competition has increased. He will have to adapt again and further. It's early days at the moment.
