Will the Ducatis find some form? Will the Honda still fly? Or, well, you tell me!

I'd like to see Bridewell ride off into the distance again,like he did last season.
No idea if he will though
Here's the times from last weeks test session,Brad Ray was well in front,but it's testing so not sure who was going for a time & who was using the session to er, test things :?

I went through the area earlier on - was nice to see all the activity around the circuit - plus loads of bikes in the sunshine. Shame the weather looks a bit more mixed for the next three days.

Well I didn't see that from Ray, or Jackson, or even Leon.

Disappointed again in Brookes and Sykes, properly poor.

For me,Ray was were he left off after the test day & Irwin showed how getting a bike to work at Silverstone is very different to getting the same bike working at Oulton Park.
Bridewell & O'halloran were the improvers,in both cases it was suspension improvements.
Not sure what's going on at PBM,Brookes qualified 2nd & for race 2 he was 7th on the grid but just seemed to go backwards.Sykes was mid pack all weekend,but he's coming back to a series with different regs & rider aids than where he's been for the last decade plus.
Next round is Donington & Sykes has a fantastic record around there in WSBK,it will be interesting to see how he fares on the Ducati.
I never saw that coming from Jackson,it was a popular win.
In the other classes Kennedy was once again untouchable in the Supersport class,such a waste that he never really cracked it in WSS.
In the Superstock class it's turning into a Honda cup series :wtf: ,whoever came up with that marketing idea gets the win there.I wonder if the other manufacturer's are taking note...

Qualifying was in the wet so worked in Brookes favour purely because of timing etc. He did relatively well in race 1 though.

As was previously stated Silverstone is never a true reflection of what’s to come.
