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

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.

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.

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.

Those are factors for sure,but I'd have expected better by now. It all puts Redding's performance into perspective.

Didn't Sykes's bike go pop on the grid? Can't really fault him for that.

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.

Sorry,yes I was referring to the non Honda swingarm,I thought it was odd that Suter were making swingarms for rival manufacturer's. :shock:

Well purely track time at said circuits then, I’d be worried more about Brooksy, not sure what’s going on there.

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. :silent:

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.

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...
