WSBK is BACK! Toprak is BACK! A sweep in Misano, with strong tracks for Toprak upcoming. Now that Toprak has machinery able to keep up with the Ducatis we are seeing more proof he is the best Superbike racer in the world...the only thing is his dominance this weekend left something to be desired in the drama department.

BMW is definitely a threat this year. We pretty much expected Toprak to be on top, but check out who was third fastest in today's first practice!

WSBK is back this weekend. Will Toprak continue to steamroll the competition? Can't wait to find out!

Well we now know the answer. He's handily broken the record held by Bautista and Rea, and fittingly the Number 54 has 54 wins to his credit. Even missing a wing, he managed to win on Sunday though Bulega pushed him all the way to the finish. How long can this continue? It also looks like Bautista is finally gelling with the heavier Ducati; he just got a little overly ambitious towards the end and threw it all away.

You can see what happens when Bautista has to ride at the limit, unlike the priot two years. He no longer has the advantage of pulling Toprak on the straights and he is no match elsewhere on the track. Clearly, we know now who is the best Superbike rider on the planet (for the last 5-6 years). 13 wins in a row. UNBELIEVABLE.

Looks like Bautista is willing to give it one more try:

DUCATi should have hired someone else. Baustista can't win unless he has a superior bike under him that can outrun the competition on the straights. Once that advantage was taken from him you see the results.

Helluva way for Toprak to end his winning streak.

Good old MAV-TV. I had the DVR set to record Saturday's race and what did I get? Some freaking Monster Truck Rodeo instead! I don't understand how their MotoAmerica coverage could be so good, and their WSBK coverage sucks unbelievably!!

Hard hit for Toprak. Probably lucky he didn't injure himself worse. WSBK needs to come back to the sunny perfect weather of California, instead of these places that have rain 75% of the time. Anyway, hopefully he is fit for the next round, but I am guessing he may not be...

Of course this has to happen at the worst possible time regarding the schedule. 3 rounds in 3 weeks--especially considering the vast amounts of time between some rounds. What terrible luck. Looking at the bright side, at least there will be some drama injected back into the series...

Now they're saying he may not even be healthy enough for Aragon!

Gerloff was the fastest non-Ducati on Sunday. Seems like without Toprak, WSBK is just another "Ducati Cup" series like MotoGP.

Toprak is back and put some more points between him and Bulega this weekend.

Not to mention Aragon is a track where Toprak normally struggles...I am sure he is happy to get out of there with a bigger lead and his health.

RACE 2 was awesome even though Toprak never showed Bautista a wheel. They were both trading fastest laps nearly the whole race until Bautista pulled away the last few laps. That track suits both Bautista and the Ducati almost perfectly.

Put a fork in Ducati. They are done. Toprak was in top form in Estoril. Only .003 seconds from another hat trick.

The Maniac will be back with Go Eleven Ducati next season. Now that he's had a year to familiarize himself with the bike and the tracks I suspect he'll be challenging at the front. Of course, there will be a brand new Panigale V4R next season so all of the Ducati riders will be starting off on the same foot. Meanwhile, I suspect Toprak will only be that much stronger too...

Toprak won the individual title, but Ducati won the manufacturers title as both Bulega and Bautista were able to deliver podiums. The next best BMW rider was Van Der Mark who only finished sixth in the series. Shows you just HOW good Toprak is!

I see Bonovo decided to take on Redding. I don't get it, his results don't seem to warrant him holding a seat for as long as he has. I guess WSBK likes having Brits in the series (contrary to MotoGP)... it's the only reason I can think of.

Sad to see the final race of the year ending in a red flag. We were denied a "Last Lap Battle" between Nicolo and Toprak. Those two were so far ahead of the rest of the field it looked like they were the only ones on the track when the camera was focused on them. Be interesting to see how Bulega and Bautista take to the all-new Panigale V4R next season...

Looks like they've started testing that new bike powered by Kawasaki but designed by Bimota. I don't get it. I thought Superbikes had to be based on production bikes and be homologated before they can be raced. How did this chimera get approved?

I also noticed that there were wings on the YZF-R1M bikes raced by Jonathan Rea and Andrea Locatelli... but wings won't be part of the package until the 2025 model year. Does WSBK homologate bikes DURING the season??

Toprak was .8 ahead and pulling away when the red flag dropped, but of course it would have been exciting to see the last 4 laps of the season. As far as the wings and Bimota questions, I do not know the answer. I thought the bikes (and wings) were production based. Things do change during the season so maybe that is the answer regarding the wings. I wish the wings would all go away.
