I'll be there in spirit, as my mates Wilski & Lil Red will be on hand to provide us with PS representation.



Predictions:



Halsam will win a double. Now that Hopper is out, I don't care about anybody else.

Gonna miss you at the track Compa !



My predictions are:-



1. Freak weather. 90 degC warm front mysteriously appears in the castle donington area.



2. Haslam double win, Sykes double second, Laverty double third



3. I will be royally drunk on cider. I intend to sink my first one putting the tent up at 8am tomorrow morning



4. James Toseland's piece of .... band which are playing will be a piece of ....



5. I will pay the 10pound entrance fee in the track exhibition centre to watch James Toseland's piece of .... band tomorrow night because I will be royally drunk.

Predictions: Checa and Rea for the wins, Sykes and Haslam will podium, Biaggi probably too.

They had it one or two years ago when you needed Internet Explorer in order to be able to enjoy Live Timing. They are only hurting themselves, didn't they learn their lesson? ..........

Leon to kick .... Sykes close by, same as Guinters.

Go BMW

good race 1 , exciting until the last corner



very happy for melandri , its good for bmw that they have 2 quality riders pushing each other

can't wait until eurosport finally shows race 2 (another 3 hours ) , fully expect haslam to be extra motivated to take victory

wow what a finish in race 2, bad luck for the bmw riders that rea pushed melandri



happy for rea though , best british rider

Jumkie said:

I so hope ur right. I'd really like to see Leon get BMW their first win. He deserves it after helping develop that bike thru the wilderness.



Been in contact with Wilski & Lil Red. Was sending me pics and vid from the track. Theyre camping at track, prob straight 'pissed' right now. Needless to say i envy them. Was at a Brit themed bar last night with CK. we cant be at Donny, but we can sure as hell get drunk on Bodingtons as if we were there.

Click to expand...

You and CK were with us in spirit for sure !

You and Cali must have put a serious shift in at that bar, it was like 4 am US time when you msg me !

Nice pint of Boddingtons ?

The liquid contained in a bottle of woods went missing on Saturday night. Any ideas Phil ?

Melandri cost Haslam (and BMW) a win there.

I presume we drank it. Don't ask me when though I was far too pissed to remember!



Just watched both races now I'm home.

Two great races, BMW is coming on leaps and bounds,

Spoke to UBTA recently and he's been testing it for them, Just a lil of his magic is doing the trick it seems.

Race two was painfull to watch for Leon, Melandri royaly ...... them both there!

Could have been a BMW one two if he hadn't been greedy with that last lunge that was never going to work! Tosser!



Fantastic weekend! the weather was ok cool but sunny!

A great little warm up ready for the main event in a months time!

Willski it was a blast! cheers Man

Roll on Silverstone!

And we can do it all again

Forgot to add!

Big up for Sam Lowes getting his first win this weekend!

Hopefully now he's broken his duck a few more wins a going to come his way!



Well done Sam
