BSB 2024

Post by Yorick »

The first race is at Cirvuito de Navarra and a few of us here are musing about flying over.

MSV have taken it over, they had an official test there at the start of this season and the plan was to start the race season there in 2024.

MSV now own the circuit.

So now the Les Battersby lookalike calls the tunes.

They've dropped Silverstone

Hmmm. Doubt I'd get there by bike but there's a very very slim chance I might be able to sneak away for that weekend (extra slim really as I have the last weekend in March off for a wedding!! )

Blimey! I've got no fingernails left after that.

No matter how orchestrated the championship points are, there was a lot of great racing this weekend.

Kyle Ryde was on it and wasn't afraid of mixing it up with the Ducatis trying to keep that outside chance alive . Vickers played wingman and will be a serious contender for next season.

Was it 8 or 9 changes to who would be champion during the race depending on positions at the time….. excellent days racing in all the classes but the big boys in Superbike was nerve shredding for the teams in the garages

I think it was 8, I remember them saying 8 so it was at least 8 times that it changed. That move from Bridewell from 3rd to 2nd on Ryde at Druids was superb, backing it in, proper on the limit, unbelievable stuff, proper racing.

Just caught up on this, and that was brilliant racing, and entertainment of the highest order, particularly the SBK class- there's a real mix of characters in there , the racing is close and and they really couldn't have scripted a more exciting or better end to the season IMO - 🏆🏆 :thumbup:

He's going to the first round in Spain so as a pal here is going, I'll tag along.

Are the 44 Teeth boys entering next year? They gave it some good coverage this term, especially with Boothy being a superhero and getting back on the Grid with half a leg missing
