Posting this at 7:15am which is early for me. I've been up an hour, too fuckin hot to sleep. Forecast today in Poole is 30c, which is hot for here, not so mainland Europe. Yesterday I cycled to the beach at Sandbanks and the car park was full at 11am on a Monday. Same with Studland and others in Dorset from reading the council's FB posts. Cant be arsed driving/cycling/walk anywhere today, too busy on the roads/hot. What a waste of summer day but fuck it. Anyway, its going to be cooler at the weekend. A weak low arrives with loads of fronts circulating around it. Here and Brands Hatch, 20c or thereabouts. Sunny intervals Friday, heavy showers Saturday clearing up in the Evening, Sunday heavy showers developing late morning. Will Brookes get his act together at one of his best tracks? 2019/20 there have been 3 meetings and 8 races there, and Brookes has won 7. www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/u10hjuzyy#?date=2021-07-24 |

BROOKES - THE COMEBACK!
If Brookes doesn't comeback here he's done for the year and Bird will drop him. Going for a Yamaha 1/2

Are you still in Maidstone area? You might arrive by noon Saturday. They were joking about this on local radio yesterday, tail backs to start at Basingstoke.

It looks as though Brands Hatch coverage is on Quest again this weekend.

I dont think there will be much fucking going on, the athletes will be kept apart due to covid restrictions. I'm wondering if 10% or more of the athletes will be side lined due to covid by the end of the games. No Assen WSB on tv that I can find, not even a 1 hour highlights at the weekend. On Virgin Media it looks like Eurosport have added extra channels, just for the Olympics. |

Brookes still off the pace. Bird will get rid of him at this rate.
Same with Kent. He's a MOTO3 WORLD CHAMPION and can't get into the top 10.

Mackenzie on pole, team mate O'Halloran 18th! Bridewell back on pace in 2nd, Skinner 3rd. He was 16th after FP sessions.
Brookes was 2nd in the wet FP3, but 13th overall in combined FP. Iddon & Buchan had been fast in the drier sessions.
Could be an eventful R1.

Red flag after Brad Jones crashed at Clearways.
Worrying that no more info and just old footage.
I fear this is serious.

The news on the BSB website is he was flown to hospital with a head injury, still unconscious. Crossed fingers for him.
