There was a chap in our shop the other day who works for OMG, I forget his name - think he’s a behind the scenes chap to do with the transport of everything..
But he was quite happily telling anyone who’d listen that Tommy was off to join Shakeys new team which he’s starting with someone else (think ex-rider). They had bought the McCams Yamahas and TB was riding for him with Bradley Ray. Said it was due to be confirmed on the BSB day at the NEC if all the contracts were sorted in time.
I just thought it was all hearsay until I heard Christian Iddon mention it on the last Chasin the Racin podcast. So maybe it does have some truth to it.
Alan Gardner (OMG owner) bought the entire mcams outfit (bikes, trucks, hospitality etc) and the bikes are up at OMG currently, still in Mcams colours But he was quite happily telling anyone who’d listen that Tommy was off to join Shakeys new team which he’s starting with someone else (think ex-rider).

It’s all very up in the air until the an announcement haha.
I think that one might be misdirection, if we are paying attention to that one we are missing something else. Someone else suggested TB to Honda was a done deal, then again maybe he is staying at PBM. Who knows but we will soon find out

I've no idea if the Shakey team is happening or not now, or any of the details, but I can't be the only one that thinks it's be amazing if it does
BSB could do with some new teams at the Sharp end
Oh totally agree if is true, another team to mix it up the front can only be good for the series and i so hope it is true even if Brad Ray doesn 't come back.BSB could do with some new teams at the Sharp end

Tommy Bridewell confirmed on Instagram he is NOT riding for PBM in 2024, so Irwin will have a new team mate and has to be odds on for the title.
Tommy will be in BSB next year to defend his title.
No surprise there at all. I said a little while back that I didn’t think Tommy would be a PBM rider this year. Tommy will be in BSB next year to defend his title.
Hasn’t Iddon already been confirmed on the Oxford bike? I wonder where else he could go and still be on a competitive bike that will give him a chance of retaining his title?
Yes Iddon confirmed at Moto Rapido.
Be interesting to see Haslam and Bridewell in the same team IF that were to happen. Failing that, i wonder if the rumoured Shane Byrne team with R1's will materialise? Or as someone else mentioned, maybe a third Honda

I think seeing the season ending race and Jordan and Frank Bird being in Irwins pit garage gave that away but yes you did.

Haslam and Bridewell on the same team would be interesting. Haslam definitely isn’t a character to put up with some of Tommys more challenging personality traits shall we say.Yes Iddon confirmed at Moto Rapido.

That BMW of Haslams looked blisteringly fast last year too, if they manage to iron out some of the problems they had with it last year I can see them putting in a very strong challenge for the title.
Besides, maybe Leon and Ron can give Tommy some form of direction for the future.

What are TB’s ‘more challenging personality traits’.
Tommy can be ‘forthright’ in his opinions, speaks before thinking etc

...not that one can understand half of what he utters.Zarco said:
Perhaps. Arguably Glenn Irwin would have won the championship for PBM if Bridewell hadn't joined the team.
And has to be odds on favourite for 2024 title. By far the best bike in the field with the same team, so has continuity and data to go over.Who gets the second PBM seat? or do we think they go to a one rider set up? I thought by Bridewell's social media posts he wasn't re signed for PBM but looks like he chose to leave

I'm 99.9% certain that PBM will run a single bike next year, if they even run at all
I'm pretty sure i read somewhere they confirmed Glenn Irwin for 2024, might have been his Instagram.As for Hardy Racing, Skinner might be a good shout but Lee Jackson still has to find a seat yet, unless as someone else suggested he goes to Hawk Honda alongside Nesbitt.

I can see Leon Haslam fighting for the championship next year. If it hadn’t of been for a few bike teething issues he would have been at the very sharp end this year.
However, I’m so pleased TB won the championship.
Yeah he seems to be the only rider who suffered mechanicals this year on the BMW - yes i know Brookes had one at Snetterton but mostly the BMW's were reliable - which curtailed his chances but kudos to you, you were right and he was in the hunt until almost the final round.However, I’m so pleased TB won the championship.
