Here we go then last race weekend of the year, looks like sat is dry but rain pretty much all sunday going by todays forecasts.
Shakey is 9 points in front of Josh Brookes, Lowes is 24 points behind and Hill is 42 points back.
My own thoughts are Shakey is going to win the title, the last race at brands is just the perfect combination for him (maybe in 2014 have the final race at a neutral track thruxton or donnigton), i don't think josh brookes will be consistent enough.
With sundays rainy forecast i wonder if Alex Lowes can keep up his winning streak or will he bin it?
Also in the dry at silverstone/assen Laverty was having tyre problems, with a damp track in store for sunday could he be take some big points away from byrne/brookes, plus Tommy Hill can't win the title but some good results could mess up other peoples chances.
Laastly what do they get for a 1st,2nd,3rd,4th it's time to work out what positions the riders need for the title.

It's certainly tight, but I think it's Shakey for the title.
I can't wait for this as apparently I'm going courtesy of Swan Yamaha.
Nice, especially with sundays forecast.I can't wait for this as apparently I'm going courtesy of Swan Yamaha.
I had a box for april's race, it was nice but i prefer being stood inside at druids or on the bend at hawthornes.
Gutted, but we've been to Assen and Magny Cours in the last month and all sorts of other travelling in between and therefore we've decided to watch from the couch. There's also an element of me that doesn't like the showdown format, I'm somehow less engaged with the series in terms of who wins, I couldn't care less as it just seems like a lottery now.
Supersport is going to the wire and I can't wait to watch it, cheering for Glen all the way . . . .
I have to give credit to P1neil for this comment on a previous thread about WSBK, but they haven't needed a showdown, handbag fight, golden goal or any other fiddling to produce a series to be decided on the last weekend.
