The 2021 World Superbike title fight between Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea was arguably the best championship battle we’ve ever seen in the series’ 34-year existeꩲnce, but iꦜt was also much more than that. 

In a year where Formula 1 also had one of its mos൩t enthralling and controversial seasons, it’s not a stretch to say MotoGP failed to produce the same level of drama and excitement as World Superbike and F1 - both championship battles went down to the final round. 

In regards to 2022, MotoGP has gone up another level in terms of competitiveness and yes, racing has been very, very stroꩵng. 

But still, is there an argument to꧒ be made that World Superbike is mo൲re exciting? 

Advantages MotoGP holds over World Superbike…

In terms of making a decision around which championship is the better spectacle𝐆, it’s important to stress that everyone will have different ideas of what makes great racing.

Of course, MotoGP is a championship tha💮t highlights the very best regarding prototype machinery, innovation, advanced aerodynamics and overall bike development, while also consisting of a grid where more than half the riders have won a MotoGP race - not to mention all six current manufacturers have won a race since 2020.

• Casey Stoner💙 vs Marc Marquez - who would win a fantasy Moto꧒GP race? 
• Toprak Razgatlioglu EXCL๊USIVEꦅ - Stuntman to superstar 

Although names such as Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner are no longer꧟ MotoGP riders, add to that Marc Marquez and his continued injury problems which have resulted in the Spaniard failing to regain the form that made him the best motorcycle racer in the world, it’s obvious that World Superbike can’t compete witꦜh MotoGP in terms of star power and attracting the very best, that’s what MotoGP does so well. 

MotoGP is also more competitive in terms of how many riders and bikes can win on any given Sunday, however, races such as Pꦫortimao, Jerez and Catalunya - all dominated by o🌞ne rider - also tend to happen which can lead to one-sided results. 

Where can World Superbike compete with MotoGP?

While World Superbike was heavily dominated by just two rid✃ers i꧃n 2021, now three this season, the type of on-track action we see between its three title contenders very rarely allows for one-sided outcomes.  

As stated above, the 2021 campaign was one of🌠 the best title fights any world championship has seen in recent years, however, 2022 is proving to 🅺be even better.

With World Superbike producing three races 🔜per weekend, fans have been treated to race long battles, including victories being decided on the final lap on several occasions.

Razgatlioglu (Yamaha), ✱Rea (Kawasaki) and Alvaro Bautista (Ducati) all have very contrasting styles and machinery that achieves its performance in different ways, but that’s not stopped the three riders from putting on classic race after classic race.

In fact, it’s not just fans who are glued to their screens ever♉ytime WorldSBK is live: "I was sitting on the sofa in my house watching the [Estoril] 🔯race, and straight away I stood up!" Marc Marquez was quoted by WorldSBK.com. 

"When I saw the save [from Razgatlioglu], it was a great show, it was a real💛ly difficult save. It’s a really slow corner [turn 10], uphill and also there were some wet patches. The way Toprak rides i꧒s riding in a different way. 

"It’s something interesting. It’s a really nice show of 🦂what Jonathan, Alvaro and T🐈oprak are doing in WorldSBK. I respect them a lot. I’m watching every race because they’re so interesting."

Gone are the days where World Superbike is solely able to attra🌊ct MotoGP riders who are towards the end of their career. Take Bautista, Scott Redding - spent a year in BSB before joining WSBK - and more recently riders such as Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge (previously Moto2). 

In conclusion, MotoGP has a deeper📖 field when it comes to top-end talent than World Superbike, but racing in the latter continues to be as exciting if not more better than MotoGP.
