BSB Assen-spoilers

[sprinter1050]

FP1 results- My 2 "preferred" (almost sponsored ) riders Kiyo & Hickman looking good
Kiyo- 1st

Hicky-10th

well done lads. Keep it up for race day

[s3fella]

Could Kiyo do this.....I mean first to #4 championships...? amazing if he could turn it around!!

[Yazza54]

Hopper got pole again didn't he, I believe he's still got it but that bike hasn't got very good race pace. Suzuki isn't the place to be...

What's the weather forecast? Walker or Hickman if it's wet, Kiyo if it's dry.

Walker should be fairly handy round there in the wet...on a zx10....

Brilliant Q for Iddon. Supermoto god.

[egor110]

Another good super race Mcconnel looked really nervouse before the race, don't think i've ever seen him like that.

Good result for rispoli too.

[LoonR1]

That qualifying has caused a nicely mixed up grid, so hopefully a cracking race tomorrow.

The 600 race was another cracker another few laps and those on the SuperCorsas who managed to stay on would've been right up there.

[theshrew]

That is set up for a interesting first race.

Question time - what's the elastic looking strap thing for that Ellison has on his hands ? Is that to stop leathers riding up in a crash or something ?

[Johno]

Instead of taping them up to stop blisters and raw hands... he's used em for some time I think.

Indeed he has. I guess it's a throwback from his endurance days where that sort of thing is a lot more common.

Walker on the floor in warm up, Byrne top.

[WaferThinHam]

Great race, championship opening up. Byrne's poor luck in Assen continues.

[Pcot]

I'm not a fan of Shakeys, but FFS, this stupid last 3 rounds system is doing him no favours at all.
If Kiyo takes the title, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Shakey says fk you, I'm not riding in your series again, unless you scrap this stupid system, and revert back to the normal points system, like all other championships do.

[StuB]

Fantastically exciting BSB races today. Haven't seen the others yet.

All to play for still I reckon, but Brooke's & Walker look to be in with little or no chance.

[WaferThinHam]

Race two started to get a bit dull.

Looks like it's going to be a Kiyo/Byrne showdown. BSB is also going back to Assen in 2015. I bet Shaun Muir loves that idea.
