  1. Bloody hell what a race! Kyle a worthy winner Danny Kent would come up smelling of shit if he fell in a bed of roses.

    Andy Irwin’s bike, all the best buffing that out.

  3. Was funny when shakey was chatting with Scott Swann and he asked him what it was like being on the same track as the moto gp boys for the weekend and he said I don’t know about the moto gp boys have you seen those moto 2 riders go lol.
     
  4. What a race today. insane racing and down to the last laps it could have been anyones race
     
  5. Picked up 3 bikes already and we've only had 2 races. Andy

  6. I take it you didn’t collect the O show from the barriers then.
    Crash in warm up and out for the two races today. Shame.
     
  7. That was a sickening high side for GIR
    His coccyx must be in bits.
     
  8. No, I'm in the complex at Campbell. Was on flags when GI went down, not what anyone wants to see. Andy
     
  9. You must be roasting lol.
    Have to say it’s been a decent weekend so far.
    Shame the sprint race was so fractured in the end though.
     
  10. Fair play to G.IRW for lining up in race 2 lol.
     
  11. Fancy dk52 here
     
  12. I’m looking forward to watching it on catch up so not reading any posts

  13. was that your multistroodle parked up on the inside of the complex? Felt so sorry for Glenn, literally heard the bike go ‘brap’ and just fire him to orbit
     
  14. No, not mine. Not practical to try and carry our kit and lunch on the bike. Glenn’s Ducati was handling like a bucket of sick all weekend, especially in the complex. He was spinning up every lap. Andy
     
  15. Even in the last race it just looked like the front end was all over the place.

    funny how in the 1098 era the single sided swingarm was never an issue and now it’s suddenly the sole issue
     
  16. So many crashes across the weekend, even in such perfect conditions!
     
  17. You wonder if it went over the point of good because of the hot track.

  18. With the exception of one rider who got skittled, the bikes that came into Campbell, all tucked the front end. I think we picked up about 9 bikes over the weekend. Not sure what happened to O’Halloran other than a rear wheel lock up. Busiest section was heading in to the chicane, lots of bumping, lots of riders vying for the one racing line. Thruxton has a reputation for grip and abrasiveness but no sure how the track faired at 42°C :thinkingface: Several riders in the last Sportsbike race definitely not happy with Richard Cooper.

  19. Didn’t see that one…was he a naughty boy…
     
  20. I didn’t see it first hand but 3 front running riders ended up in the Rectosil at the chicane at the end of the last lap and the lad who was with me waiting for his bike to be collected was very disparaging about the incident. At least 2 complaints lodged with race control within minutes of the end of the race. Andy
