Fair play to the Indonesian circuit, I was sceptical as to whether it would be finished and homologated in time to host the final SBK round but they managed it.
Toprak, Rea and Redding have been outstanding this season. I have even more respect for Rea for his sheer fighting spirit and extracting so much from a somewhat 'restricted' Kawasaki. The trio were in a league of their own pretty much all through the season.
I think this has been one of the best seasons in a long while; I'm surprised there isn't much talk about it here and elsewhere. That final rain-soaked race was just stupendous!
Congrats to Toprak and Yamaha (is there anything they didn't win this season?)
Looking forward to 2022.
