Back when I was chasing every corner from entry to exit myself, a margin like 0.155 seconds still gives me chills. Baz going from 5th and 6th in the first two races straight to the top in Race 3 at VIR tells you the setup finally clicked in the pits for that factory-backed Panigale V4 R.

How much of a level gap is there between MotoAmerica and European WorldSBK?

0.155s margin — curious whether that came from straight-line speed or braking points.

Margins that tight usually come down to the final-lap Turn 1. Anyone catch the footage?

Big win for the Warhorse HSBK factory squad, but curious how the other manufacturers respond next round.

A 0.155s margin is nail-biting. First win of the season for Baz and it's a brutal one.

Fifth and sixth in the first two races, then a win — sounds like the setup finally clicked over the weekend.
