The horribly named World Women's Championship Racing ((World WCR) kicked off at Misano, and the first round was nuts. Race 1 was red flagged with a Swedish rider medevac'ed out and still in hospital with severe brain trauma. But the finish was insane, with last lap passing, and a near photo finish. Just like the men, Spanish riders seem to be the ones to beat. They're racing on lightly modified R7's:
Also, as the silly season spins on, it seems Vinales is joining Bastianini at KTM, and Bezzecchi is the most likely to take the second seat with the factory Aprilia. If so, you have to say that the winners so far have been Marquez and Aprilia, kind of for the same reason. There's lots of rumours that Mir is in early talks to relive the good old days with Davide Brivio at Trackhouse, and that Rins may end up retiring with his injury more severe than originally thought. It's possible that Aprilia goes into next year with four entirely new riders, which is definitely a gamble. At least they know Martin is motivated with black hatred for Ducati!
