Junior Supersport 300 Saturday race was exciting. Enjoyed that. Definitely thought young Crockford was the star but the Yamaha seems outpaced in this class on top speed.

Not sure what the rules are. Isn't the Kwak now a 400 in wss300 and the ktm is 373cc with yam at 321cc?

I think so? Come the tracks with less top end requirements and I see Crockford winning.

Aren't the wss rules that engines are standard with pipes, filters and more revs?
Saw a full tune dyno on a rc390 and it only released 3hp at the top with a couple thousand more rpm to play with. Apparently you aren't getting anything out of them with aftermarket tunes.

I'm pretty sure you can buy a race kit for the RC390 that makes a big improvement but it costs silly money. Like £30,000 or something daft.

Shame for Ryde. I think he could have been third but decent recovery. Good to see Brad Ray showing some form. Nice that Iddon finally won but I'd prefer to see our younger riders start coming through this year.

British Supersport has gone down the shitter. The depth of field is awful. Nice to see Skinner winning though.

Probably next year if he wins the title.

Probably next year if he wins the title. He's looking most likely to.

Best post race save ever. Lucky though, that could have been Iddon's arm in the wheel.

They way Iddon picks up injuries I'm amazed he came away from that unscathed. Good to see him win, its been a long time coming. Not surprised that the new Fireblade didnt show as well this weekend as Donington, but they aren't far from the front.

I feel that Andrew Irwin was a bit unlucky there. It was an excellent carve through the field. Bound to get another penalty now which will probably back him into making another daft move trying to come through the field.

He was unlucky, doing so well then the rider ahead ran wide and cut back on him as he dived under. Not his fault, we've seen that elsewhere. Just watching R2 on catchup. I was just thinking I wouldnt mind seeing the onboard from R2. Then.............. Vickers had no fault in that, he had nowhere to go, Irwin rode around the outside but wasn't clear of Vickers. Hopefully they will just write that off as a racing incident.

It’s no coincidence that has points on his licence. The guy leaves his brain in the garage and doesn’t learn. It might be entertaining for viewers but he must be short of friends in the paddock. His team manager needs to have a word.
