BSB Silverstone

[Gavia]

Oooooo goody, time for more heated debate about Silverstone.

To start with they’re running the National circuit, rather than th originally scheduled GP circuit. Not surprising based on what happened a fortnight ago and the weather forecast.

Haslam has already had a huge one. There’s a video doing the rounds on Facebook (hope this works)

This will give you an idea of how he went! There’s a Starman, waiting in the sky ………

ah time for bridewell to continue his quest for the showdown

[chunder27]

Weather permitting I might pop up there tomorrow, so I am not that bad about Silverstone.

Especially as it is on a proper circuit!! Not the big GP track that most bikes look lost on!!

Typical Sun.

‘Haslam, 35, is currently leading the World Superbike Championship’

Haslam got a drop 1 place message when he was 3rd he should have dropped back to 4th behind Brookes but he "didn't see it" until he had taken the lead and only dropped 1 place back. I think it should be a timed penalty, these drop places never work properly.

Really good racing again today. Amazing from Haslam he’s pretty much got this sewn up now, even though the showdown is yet to start. A 45 point lead is some lead going into the last 7 races and he’s pretty much unbeatable on track.

Definitely going to be tough to overcome Haslam now.
Great racing on the small track it wouldn't have been nearly as good on the full circuit!
Nice to see Dixon, Tarran and Ray coming through, big talents.

As much as nobody really wanted to see any racing on the short circuit there is no denying that it produced some of the best races in all the classes so far this year.

Haslam is definitely going to take some beating now, but I hope that Dixon manages to at least keep him honest and not just hand him the title.

Am I right in thinking that Dixon and the other crasher (Tarron??) went down on Hicky's oil?

The interview I saw with Dixon on the grid seemed to suggest that he just made a mistake, but it did seem odd 2 riders going down in the same place just a lap after Hickman's blow up.

[Gavia]

My first thought was that there was oil and they did dust it for the next race. Lee Hardy was convinced it was oil, but replays and the lines the two riders took were quite different from each other, but off the racing line. Also, you’d often see a few others go down and nobody else did.
