Balls, kiyo down in morning practice and he's got a broken collarbone, so pretty much job done for shakey.

1 James Ellison Lloyds British GBmoto ...
2 Shane Byrne Rapid Solicitors Kawas...
3 Josh Brookes Milwaukee Yamaha
4 Jon Kirkham Halsall Biker Gear Kaw...
5 John Hopkins Tyco Suzuki
6 Tommy Bridewell Milwaukee Yamaha
7 Peter Hickman RAF Reserves Honda
8 Dan Linfoot Quattro Plant Kawasaki
9 Julien Da Costa Honda Racing
10 Gary Mason Tsingtao WK Kawasak

See gbmoto have signed ellsion for 2015 but not walker, wonder who else there looking at? bridewell,linfoot?

Also good job by luke hedger in super sport getting 2nd quickest in qualifying.

Is Brookes just trying to unsettle Byrne? This is not the first time he has hinted at shenanigans during interviews:

He knows PBM have cheated before, and got away with it.
Brooke's is just having another dig in that direction by the sounds of it.

Shame about Kiyo, but Shakey has already won't the title in real terms, so deserves this.

Brookes said: "I tried my hardest today and it wasn't enough to go faster but I can't help but wonder what kind of voodoo antics Shakey has going on as he never seems to get a bad string of luck ever. It was devastating to see Kiyo on the floor this morning, so we want to put on a good show and do our best in the races."

Pretty sure things didn't go to plan when shakey had that string of no win mid season.

Trouble with brookes is he makes mistakes and pushes too hard over rides and crashes when he should sometimes bring the bike back and take the points, he even did a interview (post thruxton) and said the same himself, but i guess the fact he keeps pushing and doesn't settle for the points is also his strong point?


I thought in iffy conditions josh waters would of been much further up the grid too.

So many things to comment on about today.

The main one being Kiyo such a shame. I've been in a similar position in the past ( nothing half as important as his ) I'm sure words can't describe how he's feeling but that's racing.

Hopefully they pump him full of drugs and he gets out for a race.

I'm confused, was the racing yesterday or is there some today?

Is the title decided now?

It was race one of three yesterday, Byrne fell off so theoretically Kiyo still has a chance if he is fit enough today, its a very big ask though.

That's a low blow....JB is going to lose a lot of respect for that.

Me however, I think it's funny as phuck.

Has Danny Buchan gone out on a full spec Superbike in the SSTK 1000 race? Last to 3rd (at the moment) in 5 laps!

1st after 5 1/2 laps.

What's the score with those photos then?

Pretty low blow from Josh and uncalled for, definitely going to lose some respect there and rightly so tbh.

Shame Kiyo couldn't make it out to race but a well deserved championship win for Byrne.

Been to Brands today and had a really lovely day.

Good racing and got some great vids of round the back of the GP track.

Well Done Shakey

Well deserved win for shakey, mega unlucky for kiyo doing his collarbone now but it#s been a real delight seeing the real kiyo not the version we've seen the last couple of years.

Mega congratulations to bridewell taking 3rd in the series.

Lastly wtf was brookes thinking of tweeting that? like i've said he's the worst combination a young head on old shoulders.

I'm sure if you dig enough you'll find some saucy pics of his mrs on the net wink

Oh and luke hedger's had a pretty good weekend too.
