I’m wondering where Iddon will end up after leaving PBM with Sykes taking his ride, another reason not to cheer PBM on 👍

Ryde and Ray seem VERY happy to be on the new R1s instead of the BMWs.... Clearly the R1 is a race and championship winner... but will that put these 2 back into the melting pot ?

Glen Irwin has never done the roads,that alone would concern me. His Da raced purely roads and won plenty,but never did the Island.

I wonder if there was a certain bit of arm twisting from Honda to force GI to compete.

I know Glen's not done the TT before but he's plenty of experience (and good results) at the NorthWest and Ulster?

Yeah,he'll maybe be ok. I always shudder a little when a track based rider chooses to race the Island. He's known for being brave,I hope that doesn't bite him.

Likewise. I know that racing on the roads is in the blood of NI riders, but the TT is another level from the the NorthWest and Ulster. It takes years to learn properly and Honda will want results quickly. Sounds like he was made an offer he couldn't refuse.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I think in comparison to years gone by, now with extensive onboard videos and the wealth of knowledge it doesn’t take as long to learn now. The newcomers and relative newbies fire in ridiculous laps now, it’s mind boggling.

He's expressed an interest in doing the TT for a while,in 2019 he did the parade lap at the classic TT on a BMW ADV bike,before he signed for Honda.
.
I see Iddon's on the Buildbase Suzuki & former Superstock champ Chrissy Rouse has teamed up with Phil Crowe again,this time on a Superbike.

Be good to see how Leon does against the youngsters.

I feel Taz will go very well and I bet Jason will give full throttle after losing out last year. Should be very entertaining.

Leon also has a racing accademy this year,have a look for 'Affinity racing academy'
I love the BSB & support classes,always entertaining.
This year looks like a bumper grid; https://www.britishsuperbike.com/riders
