Just goes to show how great the guy can be!

Great ride by kiyonari. Looks like he may be extremely hard to beat next year when he knows all the tracks and there will presumably not be such a delay in release and /or development of the honda.

That was just horrible to see him not moving in the middle of the track. I feared he would get run over by the guys behind him. Hope the guy recovers.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Simon Buckmaster, Parkalgar Honda Team Manager: “Craig was treated trackside by the medical staff before being transferred by air-ambulance to the Royal London Hospital. He has a serious head injury and the doctors have placed him in a pharmacological coma to stabilise his condition. We will not know any more for at least 24 or 48-hours – all our thoughts are with him and his family.
 
no news update yet still the news from his manager he's serious and in a coma
just watched the incident again looks like andrew pitt who was right behind him may have hit him in the head/helmet area at speed with his front fork.but its not conclusive.
thoughts and prayers get well soon.Craig

Finally got to watch the two races from Brands.

Race one was a joy to watch. Outstanding job by Kiyo. He definitely deserved the win. Great to see the Honda capable again of winning races. I was gutted when I saw Haga go down, but it's just his luck/style that this kind of thing happens to him.

Race two I started to doze off after Kiyo got a lead out front. What happened to Bayliss, he was dropping like a back marker, something definitely went wrong for him. Great to see Kiyo pull the double however. Now all eyes will be on him, he has to prove this wasn't a fluke and try not to follow in the steps of his teammate (Checa) and have average performances after pulling a double win.


Can't wait for Donington, one of my fave tracks. Let's hope we have a nice day for the race.

Thanks for the pics Kez. Hope you had a great time.

yeah it was a good race despite the accident.

With Kiyo getting the double at Brands, it only makes you wonder what he may do at Donington!
 
Sorry for MOTOGP but WSBK definitely have something over them. First race was a down to the wire barn burner. Fantastic race. Second race was also very good. I kept waiting for Haga to make his move but Kiyo was very strong. Very enjoyable racing

Ya it's called actual "racing".

Let's hope Laguna doesn't turn out to be the only exciting race of the year in GP.
