Two rounds to go and there’s needle Glen Irwin is widely touted by the pundits to be the better rider at Donington. This has the potential to get messy If you are wandering by the marshal station at Hollywood, give us a wave. Andy
Ringside seat for you mate. I’ve wanted Tommy to be champion for a few years now. It will get messy as you say. Should be a good weekend. Am hoping it will go to Brands as a few of us are going for the finale.
It’s guaranteed to get messy, I think the parlour games will have already commenced before they even turn a wheel on Friday
I agree, I try to like Tommy, the sport needs characters especially if they are a little edgy but he’s got big potential to implode
TB is certainly an emotional man, you only need to see his demeanour after races 1 and 2 at Oulton where is language was choice and behaviour at one point, childish. IMO, his immediate entourages’ media posting is unnecessarily inflammatory. Whether that emotion can be controlled under concerted pressure both on and off track, is something we will see this weekend, I’m sure. One thing for sure though, TB and GI know exactly what they are doing on track and both are capable of pushing the boundaries. Again, just must opinion, this could still be decided in the Stewards room. Andy
the best thing that I think could happen this weekend is Lee Jackson, Josh Brooke’s, Ryde and Vickers come out swinging and really make it a 6-8 way dog fight, that will test both their reserve! Oh… and don’t forget, Glenn Irwin is 1.5 people this weekend, Andy Irwin is back and strong around Donnington, and we know the brothers are tight
Never been a particular fan of either rider tbh but TB's antics over the last few weeks have a left a worse taste in the mouth than Irwins, its that simple i think. (I also think Irwin is the more talented rider fwiw and i always like to see talent prevail over pretty much anything else)
Just remembered WSB is on as well as Cal and the boys out in Japan. What a great weekend for the motorbikes!
The start grid for tomorrows race makes interesting reading. Irwin gets to start 12th (6 place grid penalty for not posting a time on the tire he started the race on) Bridewell stone dead last, based on his best lap time in yesterdays race! I imagine TB is pretty annoyed, I would be!!
easy to say that, a mistake for sure, a big one for sure but in conditions where everyone is unsure of the grip levels, easy easy to get really caught out
Any other riders on any other day and that’s a total non event and racing incident. Irwin grabbing TB’s helmet while he’s lying on the ground however !
If you know that and I knew that why didn’t dopey tits know instead of trying to take three riders into the Melbourne loop lol? The hand in the air as soon as he hit the front too lol. Sorry but I stand by my comment.
