I went and thought it was a really good day, the weather was nice and so was the racing, I predicted Kiyonari to win mind, but it was kinda expected. Where'd everybody sit and what were your highlights of the day?
Anybody Else Go To Croft 2day? (BSB)

Watched it on ITV thought Rea was gonna bag at least 1 victory providing he didn't bin it but oh well
Still good to watch though.

I went
I've been for thr last 3 or 4 years, its always been good, except for this is the only year it hasn't rained all day, lmao.
We sat on the first and second corner, not sure what the name is... you can see quite a lot of the track from there. I expected Kio to win, but nice to see Sykesy on the podium
And James Webb in Virgin Media cup.

People need to remember that Rea is not on Kiyo's level just yet.

we sat nearly on the first corner, just after the first corner we sat, there was 8 of us, in 2 2man tents. I nearly got ran over by Shakey on his scooter, Ive only been to the last 2, but some of my family have been since it started about 4 year ago I think :S

Same place I think, and there was 5 of us, my dad and a few mates. I saw Shakey on the scooter
I think I went to the first one, may have been the second though.
And Rea is not at Kyo's level yet, but after Kyo's left Rea will probably whitewash the BSB class.

Its looks that way, but it depends what ducati do (are they having 1200's in BSB?) and if Suzuki can get up to speed.

I'm not sure about the Ducati's, but either way I still think HM Plant have it covered for next year, they're way ahead of everyone else at the moment.
Cal Crutchlow looks like a promising rider, and he could be a force to be reckoned with if the Suzuki's do catch up a little, but like I said... they're a little too far behind HM Plant at the minute.

I'm pretty sure the dukes are 999 and dont think that the BSB are allowing them to go 1200
but dont quote me on that one
or maybe do

I believe Cal Crutchlow is brilliant, he was fantastic at Croft, to bad he fell off though

Despite the different tyre supplier i think the thing that really sets HM plant above the other teams is its riders. Lots of other Hondas are competative but Rea is comfortably the second best guy they have. Next year it will take an excelent rider on another package to beat him, Crutchlow is one possibility and a large questionmark over Ducati remains.

Well, they do have the best rider and Rea is one of the best of the rest... its a shame Lavilla's been carrying an injury all year, because when he's at his best he is amazing. If he was fit, we'd be able to tell whether it is the bike or just Rea.
The Stobart Honda has been competitive at certain tracks, but they do have Shakey and Sykes, experience and youth.

They are running the 999 now but it has reached the end of its development life. I was under the impression they would be allowed 1200's next year but cannot be sure because i also heard that the Airwaves team are moving to the world championships.
I really wish Yamaha would get some decent riders on the R1 and get it off those Pirelli tyres, they are a constant disappointment.

Very true, at the start of the season I could see Laville winning the championship, but seems it wasnt going to happen
Stobart Honda are definately getting better, Shakey amazes me sometimes the way he'll go into any over taker, almost like Rossi. However Sykes doesn't really appeal to me

oh well, theres a rider there, Dennis Hobbs, and if it werent for my Aunty he wouldnt be racing, she was his IT tutor when he was 16 and he said I've got a job in an office, or I can go racing, which one shall I do?
and she told him to go race
I think he holds the lap record at croft
