Didnt' even realise that this was a 2 day event. Looks like RAIN on Sunday. Hopefully will be better than Oulton due to said rain.

Looks like Iddon v O'Halloran this year. Mackenzie 51 points down already. Cancel that, showdown rules.
Brookes, worst defence of a #1 ever? Cancel that, showdown rules.

Sounds like Bird has written Brookes off for the weekend. Iddon has clicked into place. I hope he keeps it up, level headed and funny bloke.

Brookes will be lucky to get the showdown unless he starts pulling a couple of wins out of the bag.

I actually thought it was a decent race but the camera work was all over the place. Iddon and O'Hallaron look solid. Buchan will win one tomorrow. Unlucky for Hickman on last lap. Skinner was excellent and on front row for race 2

Skinner should be on a moto2 bike, at his age he's too good to be in BSB sadly, think he's missed the boat at world level, passport issues yet again.

I'm still not convinced. Redding was Motogp level and was expected to win straight away and sort of did. I don't think you can go from finding your feet in BSB to be a Motogp hopeful. The level is so high now, we are years beyond when you could stick Haslam and Walker and some donkey bikes to make up the numbers.
I guess he's the best of the bunch but I think the boat has sailed for nearly every one of the BSB field in terms of international rides or even being young. Iddon may be fairly baby faced but he's too old to be moving up anywhere now.

Considering he was Supermoto world champion I was surprised how long it took Iddon to get up to speed on a supersport and superbike, Skinners rise has been vertical, he's the real deal just hope he doesn't lose his way like Brad Ray did for a while.

Tarran Skinner came of age there.
Fuck me. He really said that.

That's the sort of form from Skinner I was hoping to see. Not expecting it every race but to be in the top five or six battling for the podium. Brookes will come good by round four and as long as he makes the showdown, he will be in contention. Kent and Andrew Irwin continue to have a disaster. Brad Jones going totally unnoticed at the back of the field. Obviously not in a top team but you would have expected better results from a 2020 BSS front runner.

Race 2 was good, Skinner getting to grips with it now.
In showdown terms, O'Halloran crashed 0 podium credit, Brookes nowhere 0 podium credits, Iddon rode well for 4th just pipped at the end 0 podium credits. Whats the point?
