It's scary how close O'Halloran's hand comes to being caught in the front wheel!

Man,that could have been so much worse. Kudos to the guys behind and unsighted.

Of late,the only folk to beat the Yamahas are the Yamahas.

That could’ve been horrific………

I enjoyed the racing, but that layout is shite.
I did it once and refused to go back. No fun at all.

@Welsh Muffin really enjoyed that layout and Rutter was out that day destroying everyone including their group whilst testing stuff on his Bathams bike...

The racing as always there doesn't disappoint, even if I don't greatly rate the riders compared to WSB, it's still cracking racing, overtakes, undertakes, close groups, silly moves and the odd disaster thrown in there... Most fun for sure !

Josh Brookes did a lot better, seems to be getting his act together now this season, a bit late arguably, but he's getting there.

Iddon, what was wrong with him this weekend ?

Gino, finally showing a bit more of the form that made people think he'd one day end up a contender..

I've just caught up and watched as much of the coverage as I could last night- it is such a short lap and relatively basic course but does usually provide some great racing and this year was no different in all the classes and races that I saw- I did a couple of TDs on the National layout 10-15 years ago and apart from the annoying chicane before Woodcote they had in back then, I loved it and would definitely do more days on the National circuit if they run them, whereas the full GP cct left me cold and not wanting to bother with it again

As for this week-ends racing I too was so glad to see Gino up there, I like him and have always rated him, it's come a bit late this season but hopefully we'll see him mixing it up for the others in the final few rounds.
Really pleased that Brookes made it into the showdown too, albeit I don't see him finishing top 3- I'd like to see either McKenzie or Bridewell win it, and they both really could although if I had to bet the house on it, I'd have to back O'Halloran

Yeah O’halloran is looking so good that it would be foolish to be against him. I’m looking forward to going to the final round, a bit of a trek for the wife and I but it will be worth it.
