Something happened on track in Q1 between O'Halloran and Muff, course commentary said one had gone into the others garage and fists were flying!



When Muff was interviewed on the grid, of race one, he totally played it down saying it was just an exchange of words.



Hard luck for Alex Lowes loosing the front coming out of Clearways, it had started to rain lightly, I didn't see the end of the crash, but he seemed to fly towards the gravel. M.Lav had a massive run on at Stirling. Thought Tommy rode his luck, sitting near to the back of the leading group did him no favours, or was Easton playing rear gunner for Byrne.



Shakey now has 5 wins from his last five races at Brands and I would not bet against him sealing the title in the first race tomorrow, he could 'cruise' around.



A few thousand there today, I've seen races from world championships held at Brands with smaller crowds!



have to grab some sleep now, back tomorrow and Motegi!
 
Glad you had a good one mate,

Sadly won't be there tomorrow, things out of my control demanded me been back in yorkshire tonight.

Hope the weather is kind tomorrow

Enjoyed Race1 Finally tomoz a great yr again for BSB

Josh pissed he says he adjusted his Brake cable the wrong way early in the race 1 causing him .... thats why he initially fell back
 
Good race one. Shakey looks mui forte and hard to beat.



BTW, that reminds me - anyone read Shakey, Neil Young's autobiography? Good read if you like Younger!
 
kudos to shakey for putting it on the line in the last 2 laps!

showdown concept may not be 100% fair but at least its making me watch all races of the last few rounds.

having said that, i feel a bit bummed for tommy.

hill on the chicken crt next year?
 
Two great races today.

Both exciting to watch and to the wire.

Congrats to Shakey a well deserved Champion!

Was rooting for him this season so well happy.



Interesting point in the interview after the celebrations he has two offers on the table from the bird man!

GP next year?

Would rather he stayed where he is and defend his championship than ride a CRap/T bike!
 
whatever he does, i hope hill does the same.

i'd love to either see them in bsb next year or competing against each other in motogp.

but surely i'd prefer them to ride real bikes and not what dubious plans the chicken man has for them

BSB is the future,

Stripped back to basics and it's down to the team and the pilots wrist!

Fast becoming my favorite series, and I don't have to suffer sleep deprivation like today to watch it hahaha;)
 
guess why i'm willing to travel to england to watch.

good talent, fascinating tracks, and superbikes that deserve the name.

i hope dorna has a good look at bsb when they write the next wsbk rulebook.not that i expect them to do the right thing, but potentially it could provide the best wsbk series ever.

its funny how the same people that hated the 800s praise the direction wsbk has been headed the past couple of years.nows the time for change before wsbk will slowly,but inevitably , start to go backwards.well any way,off topic rambling.



congrats shakey!and congrats josh! both men rode really hard and beautiful in race 2 and race 1 respectively

DORNA!

We know your noses are stuck in here!

Just read what Cliche has wrote!

FFS!

Thanks to all the riders in BSB for a fantastic season again in my second year of watching!



And Cliche. Always a place for you to crash here mate

Word for a while is Shakey Hill Lowes have some motogp thing/offer next year.



BSB As said no gizmo's its down to Teams / setup / Rider



theres been something like 8 different race winners and 8 different teams with a podium

cant grumble at that
 
When was the last time a BSB rider go straight to MotoGP? It's definitely not a feeder series to MotoGP, more like a way off intermediate step. Any rider in a Superbike series is going to have their work cutout for them to reach MotoGP. Though recently it seems the nut is less tougher to crack if you show some potential in WSBK.
 
we're talking crt here.

if you're midpack moto2 or at least come second in superstock 1000 you're good enough for that

Shakey is exactly where he belongs, in a watered down national series. Personally, i think our watered down national series champ would kick his ....
