Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
Another dominant show from Johnny Garness in the Talent cup. Just turned 14 and only 12 points away from winning the title. Nine wins so far this season. He was on the top step of the podium and the other lads on the lower steps were still taller.
One for the future hopefully

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
Rabat finished 46s behind the dominant winner O'Halloran. It is often not the greatest viewing race on BSB and today was no exception. The track doesn't lend itself well to much in the way of overtakes with only the final chicane making the major passing point.
Sykes did better. Brookes did really badly.

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
Brookes seemed to be blaming the Ducati. He said nothing had changed since last year and the bike didn't work then either. The other Ducatis didn't shine,Bridewell was nowhere too.
In the case of Brookes,I think it may be more than the bike at fault,though.....

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
Let's face it, he's fast, skilled and brave. I hope he jumps and lands on a decent Yamaha and puts the critics back in their box.Skub wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:50 pm Brookes seemed to be blaming the Ducati.

Brilliant entertainment.
I wish they'd can the friggin replays or showing some pit bitch in the middle of the action. We want the race ya twonks.

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
I must admit they don’t tend to show pit shit during the races, that’s the shite that Motoamerica do every single fucking race, the commentary is horrendous over there.

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
I've given up on the Murcan stuff. I think I'd only watch it in the Winter when I'm bike starved. The 'presenters' know how to make a good thing unbearable.

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
Rabat didn't improve much. In race 3 he was still a lot slower than several Superstock Hondas.

Re: BSB Thruxon.... the Rabat days !!!
I feel the same about Silverstone, which you like. I enjoy watching Thruxton as the bikes are moving all over the place on the roller bumps and different lines can produce overtakes at places you wouldnt normally expect

Not terrible if in the right part. It's quite basic as far as places go though.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:14 pm^^^ This^^^

The hill up to the chicane is harder to pedal up than you'd think. I raced a bendy bar push bike there once.
