I've been a big fan of Ellisons ever since his days in the superbike cup. One of UK's most talented in my view and this is great to see him finally getting great machinery. As long as GSE deliver which I think they will.



My only criticism is he could sometimes be a little more aggressive as with getting stuck behind Sykes at Brands on Sunday, he needed to put a move in, but didn't.

He'll be one of the front runners alongside Camier without a doubt. HM Plant could be putting Richards & Brogan on their bikes so will make for some close racing next season for sure. With the NW200 team sticking with the same lineup, they'll also be competitive, particularly with more assistance from the Factory as the only Ducati team in the paddock

I really hope Glen gets the HM Plant ride as a top bike for hin is 4 if not 5 seasons overdue. His performances on the 750 Kwakka were outstanding. I remember standing at the complex at Thruxton years ago watching him overtaking people round the outside of the right and left hander . . .

BSN reckon Richads and Brookes, so Brogan stays on the Superstock, but what about the Supersport, Brogan as well ?

I reckon GSE will do OK, they'll have support from Mota Italia with the factory in the background. Colin Wirght has developed bikes before and they're not short of a bob or two . .

Ellison has proven his development skills in MotoGP as well, so well place. That however, does not under estimate the amount of skill, time, dedication, wrong turns and frustrations that HM and others go through to make the bikes successful.

Never have been able to understand why the R1 in the hands of Haga/Corser was a race winner (well excepting Corser hehe ) but could never be made so in the BSB series before the stock engine internal rules of this season.

Didn't Yamaha MotoItalia get help off Fiat Yamaha MotoGP team in middle of season to improve their electronics package? Maybe that's why there's been a difference to BSB bikes (& WSB engine spec too)

Neil Tuxworth knows what he's doing and he did put Rutter on HM Plant for a year so some old guns may be back on the bikes aka Richards +1

Their news website says "Police in Grimsby say the latest crack house closure order sends out the message drug dealing won't be tolerated."

Vic Lee hasn't turned his attentions to bike racing has he?

biggrin




So do tell.
