Seem's he wasn't kicked out he sorted out a new ride during the last race weekend at brands.
So he's at the bike show thurs, pbm, milwaukee, gb moto , tommy hills team have already unveiled the new team/bikes that leaves tyco or the pbm 2nd team if it goes ahead.
Doesnt Bridewell is know to Tyco from his Quay Garage ride days and BMW experience from the Supersonic ride. So he's at the bike show thurs, pbm, milwaukee, gb moto , tommy hills team have already unveiled the new team/bikes that leaves tyco or the pbm 2nd team if it goes ahead.
I have a feeling that BmW will buy Kiyo out of his hawk contract and stick him on the other Tyco bike

Laverty is the other rider at TAS, aswell as being the Michelin/aprilia nominated test rider and back up rider too.
It's a strong line up at TAS, but unless they change some aspects of the team they won't do anything, Brookes only won on the bike through sheer bloody mindedness and ignoring what he was told from the upper echelons of the team.
Not impressed with many of the signings so far, shakey & Easton were signed ages ago, as was howie at Quattro, nice to see Quattro giving youth a chance, at Honda Jason O Halloran deserves a shot but linfoot was nuts jumping off a Kwak onto a Honda, both will struggle for top 6.

We don't know yet what the Honda will do. It did win a championship a little over twelve months ago. Do we think it will be near the top 6?
I know people will point out that Bridewell finished third but it was not the most convincing performance. After what he did at the end of the 2014 on the Yamaha, I thought he would be amongst the leaders quite often. Brookes was well ahead until his now-common Showdown suicide, and there was Ellison's huge absence.
Yep i agree with you.I know people will point out that Bridewell finished third but it was not the most convincing performance.

I thought bridewell was going to stir things up this year ( i guess with brookes he did) with finally having some consistency starting '14 on the same bike he finished '13, but it only came together really at the show down stage of the championship.
It comes to something when milwaukee had brookes/bridewell and it's bridewell who's the rider not throwing the bike away.
Ellison and Bridewell would be a awesome team, ellison is more methodical but then saying that maybe bridewells turning a new leaf?

Id rather be on a well specced Kwak or BMW than selling your soul for a pay cheque to ride that honda.
Its old. and in bsb regs trim, slow.
It didn't do too badly in the hands of Julian De Costa this year. And that was only as a wildcard. I imagine in a full season it could easily achieve a showdown position. Its old. and in bsb regs trim, slow.
Ellison & Bridewell? Wheres that come from?
Ellison is signed at GBmoto, bridewell is done, alongside M Lav, at TAS BMW.
The Honda still has the best chassis, but the engine is so f
ked in the current BSB regs, very similar to the yamaha.
O Halloran will beat linfoot, he has been developing the bike all this year and knows a fireblade inside out, all linfoot will say next year is 'it needs more power'
Which isnt coming. as honda as i am, the bike, in bsb regs, has reached the end of its life, im also nt certain that its even up to much at the TT now, just looking around at the amount of TT Privateer blades for sale makes me think those boys agree.

Shakey
kiyo
Ellison
Brookes
Then you have the bridewells, Eastons etc.
All on much faster bikes..
It'll be hard to see a Honda in the top 6.
BSB Rider market getting to squeeze time... Westy confirmed at GBmoto.
Just trying to work out what 'top' bikes are left in BSB, PBM, Honda, GBmoto Quattro, TAS BMW plus 1 at Buildbase all gone, So really only the midpack teams left, RAF Reserves, FFX (if they are running) Halsall, Quay Garage, WD40, Anvil TAG, Gearlink, yet some top top riders looking for rides. Very interesting times.

Who will be on the TAS BMW's? Bridewell I assume? Who are Suzuki talking too with regards to running the GSXR in BSB? Apparently they're a Kawasaki team at present. Official announcements from TAS not due until late December (contract until the end of year)Just trying to work out what 'top' bikes are left in BSB, PBM, Honda, GBmoto Quattro, TAS BMW plus 1 at Buildbase all gone, So really only the midpack teams left, RAF Reserves, FFX (if they are running) Halsall, Quay Garage, WD40, Anvil TAG, Gearlink, yet some top top riders looking for rides.
