Seeley in BSS apparently on an R6 for Binch Racing
Just seen that. Great news. Big fan of Sealey.
Shame for Zak Corderoy who was down to ride their second bike but is out due to injury apparently. Some people just seem to have bad luck.

Reigniting of the bad blood between Seeley and Kennedy?
Personally I love a bit of needle between the riders. I don't think Seeley will have the edge to challenge for the championship or trouble Kennedy this time though.
Depends upon how good the Binch R6 is and how good the new CBR600RR is, if Binch have their bike tocking and Honda don’t, maybe Seeley will be able to trouble him. First round is going to be an odd one as nobody has raced there before but the rest of the season could be immense

Potentially a massive year for Kent this year, he was doing okay on the Fireblade last year and now he has the more preferred R1, he will mix things up big time.
I reckon this year you can pick anyone from this list to win races
Vickers
Ryde
Kent
Bridewell
O'Halloran
Haslam
irwin - both


With Cook, Harrison and Jackson to spring the odd surprise

Skinner will be in there too I think. I think O’Halloran will struggle a bit to be top 5.
I had forgotten Skinner and looked like Hickman and Brookes not too far off either.

I still think it will be Glenn Irwins championship to lose but the OMG boys, Kent, Honda UK, FHO, ROKiT BMW, Skinner and O Halloran will have something to say about it.

Going to be a great season i think

You don't think bridewells going to play a part ?
I did say Honda UK wink so yes i do but until he's been on the bike a year, he might well struggle especially if the Honda isnt up to speed like in WSBK.

I just think the OMG outfit has the better more stable team, PMB has had a bit of a shake up last year with Paul Passing, and this year they only running 1 bike which has got to have a negative on getting data.

Lets see how we are after round 3 Donington.
I'd agree that its nowhere near GIR's championship to loose. He's top three but there is strong competition.
I disagree but we shall soon see but you can't help but think, if he doesn't win it this year questions have to be asked.

Same goes for FHO, if they don't play a big part in this years championship then you would think questions might well be asked about why they can't feature at the sharp end. Especially if Haslam and Skinner do really well also, then you would epxect BMW to start asking what is going on.

But yes, after round 3 at Donington we should have a better idea of how the year will pan out.

Your GI fanboy statement aside, is there actually anyone you've left out there? ...hedging your bets taken to a new level! rofl
Plenty and i am far from a GI fanboy, if i am a fan of anyone it would either be Bridewell or Hickman but i'm also realistic to understand that they probbably won't feature in the top three come the end of the year

Im a big Hicky supporter, but I think his life is the TT and then running PHR, BSB is to keep him sharp and in the limelight I think.

I suspect the focus required to nail the title is a lot more than he can give when the TT is foremost in his mind.

Going to be an interesting year, and for me, I think its time Kyle came to the fore and showed his ability.
I think there are a lot of people who have to deliver this year and some who will be hungry and eyeing up the bigger rides.

I agree about Hicky but part of him wants to do well on the mainland as well as far as i remember from an interview a few years ago.
