I don't disagree with what fleegle said. It just seemed odd, almost as if Bradley didn't think it was ever going to happen. I want to see more fire in his belly.

Ryan, I don't consider you a fool but that is a fools statement. Have a think about what you have said.

I thought it might cause a little controversy, not intentionally, but he comes across as a guy who thinks he's on borrowed time to me. Was it happiness or sheer relief?

Borrowed time? he's sorted his seat out for next season,he can beat his team mate by the end of this season.

He has had a lot of stick from a lot of people saying he is not good enough so I'd say he was just relieved.

Probably, I believe he's good enough.. He has to be at the end of the day - he's not just there to make up numbers. I think the criticism has probably worn him down a bit.

Hopefully it'll spark a bit more self belief in him. I may be (probably am) wrong, but I think that may be all he's lacking now.

Yep and next season is his time to shine, hope he does.

With regards to beating his rookie team mate, that was probably the target from the off, not a bonus.

I don't think it is fantastical to say there is a reasonable possibility of an all-Brit podium in 2015, or at least a chance of two Brits being up there. What is the historical record for the last time that occurred?
For a non-TT I think it would be the 1964 US 500GP, Hailwood, Read & Hartle. After that you always seem to have Agostini on one of the steps.

You got Hailwood, Hartle & Spencer at the 67 TT when it was still part of the Championship.

I used a bit of bright orange nail varnish to touch up my chipped Marchesini

If it damaged the wheel that much it could have damaged more up the drivetrain or suspension perhaps?
