Are the WSB organisers on drugs? Is this some kind of cocaine decision?
They take the BSB idea of making the race 2 grid depend on race 1 results (best lap time) but misunderstand what was done and create a ridiculous, unsafe, joke of a plan instead.
This is a world championship not a club race. This kind of approach is just embarrassing.

WSBK is becoming a joke. Making a Saturday and Sunday race has spoiled it for me, mainly because I forget to record Saturday's race!
Very amateurish move from Dorna & +WorldSBK here. I personally think +MSVR / +Official BSB race 2 system works very well. Encourages riders to keep fighting for that perfect lap to improve their race 2 grid line up.
Unless this system happens to work really well, I can't see it lasting more then 2 seasons before they go to #BSB style or back to the 2016 plan.
