Triple header, BSB style 3 full races rather than WSB 2 1/2. National circuit not the full one. The forecast for Sunday has been changing from dry to wet. www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcrh9c2zr#?date=2019-05-23 Will Redding wipe the floor with some previous track knowledge? Will Brookes' bike run for 3 full races? |

Redding hasn't raced at Donington for a while, but at least the track hasn't changed.
I would like to see Bridewell win one this weekend and maybe another new name on the top step... maybe Danny Buchan.

Redding staking a claim already with top time over Brookes.
Bradley Ray is looking like shite at the moment in 13th.

Agree 100%. When they announced in BSB they were ditching the TC electronics there were people (including Chris Pike iirc) saying that they would regret it due to the bikes being too difficult to ride and the riders would highside themselves into hospital. That hasnt happened, whilst in both WSB and MotoGP if a sensor fails and the TC doesnt chime in when expected the riders are sent into orbit. Is that why ELav highsided at Imola? Pedrosa when Marquez wiped out a sensor? Keep that stuff in MotoGP, I think TC on a road bike is only a gimmick, something else to go wrong. If you cant ride a 1100cc V4 on the road without TC you dont relly need a 1100cc V4 road bike. Nice to hear Ciabatti turning up and congratulating them. Working with some Ducati top bods as well as that can only give Bridewell and team a leg up in BSB. |

Mere mortals have probably been struggling to get the best out of road bikes since the 80s. Sadly it seems like electropokery will probably become mandatory anyway like it is with cars from 2012 having to have ESP (my Hyundai one was garbage, like the driving instructor stamping on the brakes but the Mini is like voodoo magic).
I remember DavidW poo pooing the GPS idea not that long ago saying it wasn't accurate enough but clearly it is. BSB rules FTW!

Good R1. The ex MotoGP/WSB riders Redding, Fores and Barbera liking the 'higher standard' track.

Good race. Must say I was about to walk off and make and tea and curse Redding for being a useless wanker until I noticed he was regrouping and then reeling them in. Looks like Bridewell burned his tyres up too soon but was good while he lasted. Brookes will probably be sore in the morning.
Seeley is a gaming cunt once he got caught. Doing the old hand up but suddenly not that bothered about it and able to overtake when behind. 1.08s and putting the hand up is sham.

Back of the net for Redding. Good rides from Fores as well.
Brookes seems to be making too many mistakes.

The cream showed their class today on a proper circuit. Donington without the loop is a real riders circuit. Only circuit that I prefer the shorter layout. Redding is on it. Both he and Fores need to be in WSB next year on Ducatis
