According to BSN, PBM are exepected to retain Irwin and Bridewell and DAO Kawasaki are expected to just go with Buchan which is a bit of a slap to Elliott

I suppose budget constraint is an issue. If two bikes isn’t an option then a race winner on the bike isn’t a bad idea.

Possibly so yes but it is a bit of a slap to Brayden Elliott though after riding the ZX10 in STK all year then riding Dean's old bike for the last few rounds.

Interestingly Lee Jackson is riding for Hawk at the sunflower trophy this weekend.

Very interesting, be a shame to see Josh Owens lose out on a ride but i should imagine that is the least of his worries right now if Lee Jackson ends up there.

BSB column with James Whitham also says that Jackson is finding for Hawk next season.

At least he's got a ride with a decent team which is the main thing

McAms staying as title sponsor of the Mar Train team, to be called McAms Racing by Mar Train.
Apparently raceways - Steve Rogers company - will also be sponsoring the team as a technical partner.

I find it interesting that Glenn Irwin has made his Instagram account private now, i know it wasn't a month or so back. Maybe he's either learned that social media is a double edged sword or he's had a quiet word in his ear by someone to keep a lid on things.
I think this last year has opened his eyes to just how damaging social media can be and i can't say i blame him for wanting to protect his family and his image going forward.

Anyway, be good to see him on the same bike with the same team next year and hopefully fighting for the title again and with no McAms Yamaha team, the field is that little bit thinned out.

Bridewell back to defend his title do we think? And if he is, the same team?

Just TB and Lee Jackson to announce where they are going now. Oh and Iddon too but i expect him to stay with Moto Rapido

Also, Honda running Jack Kennedy in Supersport next season

They must have told Jack some good stuff about the incoming 600RR, thats some signing. He just looks so much better on a supersport.

Lee Johnston is intending on coming back to Supersport next season too, he announced it in his youtube videos. They have sold their R6s and he says he is in discussion with a manufacturer about bikes. I assumed at the time that was Hondas.

Said for a long time i think he is one of the top riders in the world on a SSP bike, just cannot transition to a Superbike for some reason

I see Rory Skinner has been dropped for next season by his current Moto 2 Team. I wonder if we’ll see him back in BSB.

Did he ever win a Superbike Race.
