New team, need make a splash and good to have experienced riders for your first season.

Look at GbMoto having Ellison and Walker initially in their first year in BSB. They can take a flyer on Stapleford now as they've got the factory backing they needed.

Sometimes the medium to long game is being played.

You're forgetting that GB Moto had a couple of years entering Fireblades in BSB (after super stock & endurance racing) before switching to Kawasaki & entering Walker & Ellison.

They were the team that got booted out of the Superstock 1000 championship when they were found to be running slotted cams, it was very well done they put a slight indention in the rear of the cam pulley which altered the overlap etc & gave them more power.

That means nothing to me. I know that most of them are words that I've seen used elsewhere, but I've never seen them used together like that.

On a related note Fleegle and I had an interesting discussion with the techie guy that he bought his ZX10 off around how Buchan's SS1000 bike was allegedly set up.

Pmsl don't you mean his supersuperstock ZX10R I already know how it was set up so did half the paddock but hey, he's still a good rider.

I see PBM have announced a three year Ducati deal.

I can't but I will say that it bore more of a relation to the next class up than a superstock hence the extra super

Interesting!


I thought Rispoli would have been staying with TTC

Keith Flint is supposed to be doing something different than super sport next year isn't he? Or I heard a rumour saying that, not sure what it is.

Hope Billy McConnell does well there.

Very interesting!

I'm a fan of Rispoli. He's good to watch.

Decent colour scheme too.

Not sure that Wilf has a big enough budget to cover all the impending crash damage ?

Really glad to see Christian Iddon get a top ride, he definitely deserves it after some really good performances last year.

Halsall suzuki, why on earth did he splash out on kiyo?

Yes he's experienced but there can't be anyone who thinks his last couple of seasons have been a disaster.

Fingers crossed they get some gp knowledge trickle down.

Last season he was never the same after running into the back of Shakey at Oulton.
The year before that he was in contention until the last race of season when he fell in practice and broke his collar bone and couldn't race.
