Very well put and I can only +1 the fact that Honda have seen the marketing value of ... " Oh , its a girl on a bike ". Are Honda putting mirrors on the factory bike ??
Is that a suggestion that she's slow? If so, I doubt you'd see which way she went if you were lucky enough to be on track with her. LoonR1 said:
She hasn't when she's been out in track when I've been there.
And she is fast, she might not seem it based on where she finishes BSB races, but I dont think anyone on here (even BN or McKeann would keep her in sight)
Thats fighting talk. I'll need to do a UK circuit this year (other than croft) and see how i compareAnd she is fast, she might not seem it based on where she finishes BSB races, but I dont think anyone on here (even BN or McKeann would keep her in sight)

Try Oulton it's her home circuit, so no excuses for her then 
She was doing 1:39.7 in April, although I think that was wet, or a drying track. My best is a 1:52 there, so miles off her. You'll get into the low 1:40s easy.

I really don't think anyone can honestly think that she's not very very fast and in another league than the average joe. But when she's competing in the top UK class and she goes from the back of the grid to argueably one of the best rides especially when they already have 2 great riders it doesn't take a genius to understand it's a lot of promotional mumbo jumbo.
Anything to increase the amount of women getting into motorsport is a good thing in my opinion. I just can't wait for the season to kick off

The comments on here are laughable, 99% of you wouldn't see which way she went, same with Sam and also Catherine. Suggest you all put a skirt on and show just how fast you really are, preferably on a test day with some other BSB riders,I mean you will almost certainly be within a few tenths of the top 15.
Good luck Jenny, well deserved girl. It's a long way from that 125 KRP ride eh

Whatever the reason she's got her factory ride , she's got it so i really hope she makes the most of the opportunity.
People say better riders are being overlooked for those who have cash but isn't that the case in all forms of motorsports?
Any way only 3 months until we get to see what the Devizes legend can do back on a bmw

I really don't see what the problem is here. Honda would normally run a two roder team. This year, they've decided to run a three rider team. Yes, it's probably due to Jenny being female, but so what? They wouldn't run a third rider otherwise, so nobody has lost out on an opportunity.
And she is quick, much quicker than you'd believe.
