Taz is back with a bang ! The lad did well. He'll soon be in the Showdown.
Brookes and Sykes with more complete and utter dire performances

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Yes Taz is back,excelllent racing.
Awful weekend for PBM,I I can't remember when Brookes last crashed, & Sykes didn't even get to start the 2nd race.Interesting interview with Havier Beltran it seems BMW aren't the only team using Suter swing arms.It certainly worked for Glen Irwin

If you’re referring to the WSBK BMW’s then it’s Kalex swingarm a that they are running.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 5:54 pmYes Taz is back,excelllent racing.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
I wonder what the real story is behind the woe.
Brookes has been off the boil for some time now,but Sykes is quicker than just scraping into the points. I expected him to be up at the pointy end by now.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Possibly for Sykes it’s more than likely just a case of getting used to the lack of electronics on a bike especially a Ducati and learning the tracks again, it’s been a while since he’s been in BSB.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Those are factors for sure,but I'd have expected better by now. It all puts Redding's performance into perspective.wull wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:02 pmPossibly for Sykes it’s more than likely just a case of getting used to the lack of electronics on a bike especially a Ducati and learning the tracks again, it’s been a while since he’s been in BSB.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Didn't Sykes's bike go pop on the grid? Can't really fault him for that.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Aye, it's not like it's his 2nd time out on it now, he's had a shot tonne of bike time and really ought to be running better than he is.Skub wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:06 pmThose are factors for sure,but I'd have expected better by now. It all puts Redding's performance into perspective.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
Well purely track time at said circuits then, I’d be worried more about Brooksy, not sure what’s going on there.weeksy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:18 pmAye, it's not like it's his 2nd time out on it now, he's had a shot tonne of bike time and really ought to be running better than he is.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
I'm just amazed that Birdy hasn't offed Brookes already,he must have mellowed in his old age.

Maybe Brookes owns some 'compromising' pics of Mr. Bird.

Re: Brands Hatch BSB this weekend
In the interview afterwards he really DGAS. I can't see him sticking around after this season. Also there's strong rumours that this is Birdys last season. He'll be pulling his money out to concentrate on his son's 4-wheel racing.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:02 pm Didn't Sykes's bike go pop on the grid? Can't really fault him for that.
Aside from that, how obscene was Coops Superstock win!
To come back 2 years after a serious injury and win on a 2019 Suzuki .
I wish I had a fraction of his talent...
