Ellison must be the most unlucky rider out there, looking good for a podium then the bike in front blows up and he goes down on the oil.

And just to rub it in a bit more he bins it at church, so unlucky.

Bridewell down and hard too, wonder if he'll be allowed to race in race 2, he looked like he was briefly knocked out.

No chance of Ellison getting back on with a broken wrist. I can see him being one of the most talented riders in the series to not win a championship

As much of a bridewell fanboy I am , he shouldn't be racing if he's saying he's concussed and pulling faces on the grid.

The medics should just rule him out at the point of him being knocked out and screw the race organisers and his team.

Honda must be annoyed. Linfoot starts season well and is then out with injury. O'Halloran then steps up and looks good for the showdown before getting a broken leg thanks to Mainwaring dawdling on the racing-line.

Brookes should be able to cruise around for two wins unless PBM have suddenly found something.
Plus Jenny Tinmouth is hardly making the best use of a Factory bike.

That's probably not why Honda have signed her though, so as far as there concerned the project is working fine.

That R1 is going to take some beating if it continues in its current form, especially for a bike in development.

Josh will need to take some tips from Shakey on the rolling burnouts if he keeps winning, must be highly embarrassing.

Bridewell interview before race 2 was interesting, seriously pi**ed off and agree with comments above, not sure he was really fit to start that race.

Keeps the series interesting though. Sure PBM lads will be working overtime to gain ground on the R1

Brookes is racing in German superbike championship next weekend.

Anyone know if the rules are much different to bsb or is it just a opportunity to stick a different fairing on his bike and get some set up done at assen?

The medical team that attend BSB, are amongst the best in the country. They're also equipped with top notch kit.
If there was any doubt about whether TB had suffered concussion, he wouldn't have been on the grid.

Surely if your knocked out that's you done for the day, he was like a rag doll when his chin hit the floor.

He did go down with a thump, and I'm sure it was looked at again by SH.
The rules are as you suggest, so I think it's safe to assume he wasn't concussed.

Handbags at dawn

The crash between Buchan and Bridewell has no doubt left a sour taste in the Paddock. Crashes happen, it’s part of the racing but when you see a fellow rider on the deck it’s good form to at least acknowledge that they are okay. DB showed his petulant side which will win him no friends. Meanwhile, Bridewell’s outburst to Jamie Whitam on the grid walk showed him for the thick carrot cruncher he is. DB was not riding dangerously at the point he lowsided, in my opinion that was a racing incident that happens in a closely fought battle in the closing laps. I think Bridewells PR people need to take him to one side

Should be interesting at the next round
