And causing a divide in opinions in the sidecar paddock.

Some teams glad at the increased exposure it will bring

others fuming how he has been granted a national level sidecar licence with no experience.

Has he not got time to get his licence before the season starts?

To get a national you have to do X amount of races and finish within X% of the winners time. Don't think it's usually possible to get it within a couple of months. Technically since he has no experience he should get a novice license, then have to upgrade to a clubman, then to a national.

Cooper was announced on a two year deal shortly after re joining the team.

Seeley will be on the Lee HArdy/RAF Reserves bike

Leon signed a fortnight ago, and it was fairly obvious what was going on when he was seen outside the workshop here in louth in GB moto gear last friday...

He will go well, ive stuck a tenner on him winning the title.
There's no mention of Cooper on the BSB website or on Crash! so this may not be correct.
Don't question Lincsblokey, he's the forum oracle regarding the BSB paddock.

From mid season last year he was making noises about wanting to ride a SS 1000.

Taron McKenzie will be the fastest ever McKenzie I reckon.

Billy McConnell has parted ways with Anvil Tag Yamaha. Seems an odd move right before the season starts

Shame that, he had a few promising results last year and I was looking forward to seeing how he could perform on the R1.

Fingers crossed somebody picks him up for the rest of bsb super sport season.

Was he a paying rider in wss or a paid rider?
