Here we go then last race weekend of the year, looks like sat is dry but rain pretty much all sunday going by todays forecasts.
Shakey is 9 points in front of Josh Brookes, Lowes is 24 points behind and Hill is 42 points back.
My own thoughts are Shakey is going to win the title, the last race at brands is just the perfect combination for him (maybe in 2014 have the final race at a neutral track thruxton or donnigton), i don't think josh brookes will be consistent enough.
With sundays rainy forecast i wonder if Alex Lowes can keep up his winning streak or will he bin it?
Also in the dry at silverstone/assen Laverty was having tyre problems, with a damp track in store for sunday could he be take some big points away from byrne/brookes, plus Tommy Hill can't win the title but some good results could mess up other peoples chances.
Laastly what do they get for a 1st,2nd,3rd,4th it's time to work out what positions the riders need for the title.

- Can't forget the support races can we?
Supersport- Glen Richards is on 356 with Jack Kennedy just behind on 343
Superstock 600 we've got Ben Burke and Lee Jackson both on 174 with James Rose just behind with 169.
Superstock 1000- Keith Farmers prety much got that wrapped up
125'S- Luke Hedgers got the title, would love to see him and bridwell interviewed for some great accents.

It's certainly tight, but I think it's Shakey for the title.
I can't wait for this as apparently I'm going courtesy of Swan Yamaha.
Nice, especially with sundays forecast.I can't wait for this as apparently I'm going courtesy of Swan Yamaha.
I had a box for april's race, it was nice but i prefer being stood inside at druids or on the bend at hawthornes.

He actually said as much on circuit commentary this morning. .... Something along the lines "I'm not sure I'd be happy wobbling around at the back of a Moto GP race, when I can be racing for wins in BSB"....
Tommy Hill said next year it's either wsbk or bsb.Sat at paddock hill until the 125's then took a walk over to clearways, it was bloody freezing, great racing from a great series.

Not onto a bad idea with that......
Big fish in smaller pond (on good bike) or small fish in big pond (on s
t bike).....bit of a no brainer.
If I was Ellison I'd be looking for a seat back in BSB too.
Even sam lowes said he wasn't interested in riding for paul bird in gpBig fish in smaller pond (on good bike) or small fish in big pond (on s

Yep.
On a different note,I was thinking about next year in the way to work this morning. Much as I would love to see Birdy go and have a proper crack at the WSB title, I bet CRT is substantially cheaper....
But he'd need sponsors. On a different note,I was thinking about next year in the way to work this morning. Much as I would love to see Birdy go and have a proper crack at the WSB title, I bet CRT is substantially cheaper....
Why would a company sponsor a team that's going to make up the numbers and not get on tv?

He see a small gap and went for it like Silverstone, would have been a great move if it'd come off.
But your right was going to happen at some point.
When it started raining on sat i though he's not going to finish, he'll just push harder and harder and bin it.But your right was going to happen at some point.
On super fast tracks silverstone/assen he seems to on form, you'd think thruxton would be a good circuit for him too.
