Laguna Seca saw the pendulum swing even further in Jonathan Rea's favor in the World Superbike championship. With Bautista posting three DNFs in all three races at the US circuit, Rea took a commanding, and possibly insurmountable lead in the title chase.

As always, Steve English sat down with Gordon Ritchie to discuss the events at the US round of WorldSBK. What has happened to Alvaro Bautista? How has Jonathan Rea gone from underdog to holding a commanding lead? And has Chaz Davies finally cracked the secrets of the Ducati Panigale V4R? Steve and Gordo discuss all this and more.
