Does nobody watch this? Just caught up on the BSB stuff, fantastic racing. Way better than the processions we’re being served in MotoGP.

[Fleegle]

Yes, just a bit busy this weekend

Love watching BSB.

Any news come out regarding Mossey’s apparent loss of brakes?

[stew-STR160]

I was there.
Typical Snet weather.

I saw the end of race two but forgot it was on to be honest, there's only so much bike racing you can watch in one day.

I went to Snetterton yesterday and saw a fantastic day's racing.

Spotted this in the bike park and was quite surpriseed, but pleased, somebody was using a £60,000 bike for a road trip to Norfolk.

cracking racing. enjoyed this more than Moto GP but then again that's not a first

I caught up with BSB over the weekend.. Great racing and very accessible compared to the 'premier league' motorcycle racing.

I saw a very nasty crash in the superstock 600 race. One of the riders went straight on at the end of the Bentley straight but onto the grass rather than on the tarmac runoff, where he lost control of the bike and it cartwheeled across the grass and back onto the track just before the bombhole where it collected another rider. It looked quite nasty, even from a distance and the red flags came out straightaway but there was no mention later on on the PA system about who the rider was and what condition he was in.

Was this crash shown on the TV and does anybody know what the outcome was?

In fact, there were a lot of crashes throughout the day, particularly at the second corner hairpin, which often creates carnage on the first lap.

If you haven't seen James Westmorland's crash in the Supersport race it's well worth viewing for entertainment value. He was obviously incandescent with rage after being taken out on the first lap and started throwing punches at the other offending rider. I imagine the organisers "had words" with him when he got back to the pits.

Bit of a bell end, he should banned for doing that really.

Didn't watch any of Snett to be honest, was going to go on Saturday, but weather forecast was poor and couldn't face the 4 hours in a car to get there!

They didn't show the crash but did show the wreckage after. Looked nasty.

There were quite a lot of clumsy crashes, riders diving underneath and then taking out the bike they were passing.

Yes, the whole day was a bit of a crash fest, but in most instances, it was just egos that were damaged and most walked away.

But I felt really sorry for the guy in the superstock 600 crash because he was just riding his own race heading into the bomb hole when he got blindsided by a flying bike out of nowhere. The crash and the affected rider weren't mentioned on the PA system at all later so I hope he is all right.

Had a great day there - courtesy of Tyco. Snetterton's speed 'seems' to solicit more accidents, I guess because it is very fast and very flat, so riders are just going too fast when they then try and dive up the inside to find out the grip and braking wasn't up to spec.

if a rider crashes, it must be very frustrating if you get taken out too, however, Westmoreland should be apologising because 'there by he grace of God' etc

He’ll be facing a ban I think

The rider who went straight on was Charlie Morris, entering stock 600 for the first time on his 36k miles GSXR 600 road bike! He was fine, and I believe he said the other lad was too. Don’t understand the Bridwell thing, all rather bizarre?

Holy fk. I've never seen such a miss since Biaggi at the 1994 World Cup. Odds on that lad has never thrown a punch in his life

Ok cheers for the info. I doubt it's his road bike anymore given the speed it cartwheels across the infield before hitting the other rider.
