How long would it take Toprak Razgatlioglu to become competitive on the BMW? The answer, as we found out in Barcelona, was two rounds. Toprak's stunning pass on Alvaro Bautista at the final corner, almost a carbon copy of Valentino Rossi's move on Jorge Lorenzo in 2009 loudly announced the BMW's arrival at the top of WorldSBK, and generated a real buzz of excitement. The Paddock Pass Podcast's WorldSBK crew - Steve English, Gordo Ritchie, and Speedweek's Ivo Schützbach - take a deep dive into the events of the Catalunya round of World Superbikes, and where the series stands.
