Ducati's dominance of the Dutch Round of WorldSBK was completed by a 1-2-3-4-5-6 finish in Race 2. It was a stunning performance by the red bikes and on this week's pod we break down what we saw at TT Circuit Assen. On this week's show Steve and Gordo are joined by David Emmett who gives his insight of what he saw, what he liked and what he thought of the WorldSBK paddock.
