What do you reckon? Bautista will have ridden the place at some point? It's not one of the nadgery need to learn the little oddities places anyway.
If Redding is wildcarding Davies must be shitting it. He'll look a right twat if Redding goes well. Hoping for at least a Bautista/Redding 1/2 to bury Rea.

Redding and Brookes arent wildcarding and Bridewell is doing a test at Suzuka for the 8-hour.
vd Mark won both races last year, but has a bust wrist after his Misano crash.
Toprak had a 2nd place last year, so might feature again.
Haslam knows his way around there, so a podium?
Its not an outright power track, Sykes on the under powered BMW for pole.
Bautista for the double. Rea for 2 2nds.

I fancy Sykes to shine but my money is on Bautista to dominate all races. Tarran inline to replace VDM if he isn't fit enough to ride.

When did they make the decision not to do the wildcard? I would have thought it would be in Ducati's interests to try and crowd Rea out a bit.
Arse.
If anything was going to pick up Davies pace it would have been the threat of being replaced.

If anything was going to pick up Davies pace it would have been the threat of being replaced. Yesterday I think, I read it on BSN. Redding won all 3 BSB races, on the shorter circuit, so pressure/expectations are on Bautista. |

My understanding on what I have read about Redding not doing the wildcard ride is that he thought he was going to be given a WSB spec bike. When he was told he would be on his BSB spec bike he said no point in doing it.

Eugene has tweeted that he rode a few laps at Nutts Corner yesterday and his wrist seems ok so is going to give it a go this weekend.

Has the bike got any better or will he just be overriding again?

I would guess riding for a small budget team is very different to a large budget team. |
