Saw Yamaha have kept the same riders for 2021. All very understandable but I was hoping for a bit more of a shake up in the class.

I'm assuming Bird is keeping the same riders and not to his usual divide and rule shit?

Probably. Been a funny year and maybe everyone is just happy they survived financially. I thought a few more teams would have gone bust. I'm surprised the Oxford Ducati lot haven't announced they're taking a year out. It's only a small shop and that bike most cost a fortune to run.

Bradley Ray to OMG BMW on an M1000RR alongside Kyle Ryde; www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/brad-ray-joins-rich-omg-bmw-for-bsb-2021I'm undecided about Ray. Apart from doing the double at Donington a couple of years ago, he has done bugger all really; the occasional podium, some success at Suzuka (I think) but that's it. Was he just lucky on the Suzuki for one round, or is there more to come with the right team around him.

Its a tough one. Like many before him, plenty of potential but you can see him ending up with a less than spectacular career.

Was hoping Skinner would get picked up for WSS. Hopefully he's not another that spends too long in BSB land.

He is on a two year deal. Didn't stop Dixon getting to Moto2. I'd love to see him win and move on. Good talent.

You know what I mean though, you got some people saying 24 is still young when meanwhile in motogp land people are winning races at 20.

Indeed. I've always thought that British sportsmen mature later. A lot of top world class Brits have their success when they're in their thirties. Wonder if it's a cultural thing?

Everyone else starting and maturing earlier. I think we have a great domestic series, apart from Ducati Tri Options, which dullens people's desire to race on the Euro/World arena. How many teams run bikes in those? Crescent & SMR in WSB, Buckmaster in WSS. Is that it? We were 'Superbike Island'.

So latest news is that Luke Mossey is back on a Kawasaki and Kennedy has gone back to Supersport with the same team. No idea why Kennedy has done this unless cash was a deciding factor which would be understandable.
