Trouble is the longer Ellison stays he’s just turning into a bitter journey man as he was forever the bridesmaid and not sure he’s even that anymore.
Next year is going to be Brooke’s v Bridewell and hopefully redding .
Bitter is a harsh word to describe him. He’s not quite done what’s needed and had a lot of bad luck both of which could describe Bridewell. For me next year is about Bridewell and Mackenzie with Ray challenging. Next year is going to be Brooke’s v Bridewell and hopefully redding .
ks egor does though.

He can do all the track days in the world at the UK circuits, but you need some racing on them to really get up to speed
He'll be a great character for the series though
I dont think Ellison is bitter either, and if he gets a clear run of injuries and the bike works well with the new engine, then he should easily be in the showdown and should be challenging.
He'll have his work cut out though with all the young bucks looking to have a pop at it. He might have to have a bit more aggression about him to push for the top spot as I've always thought that his only downside was that he only went for clean passes.

Ha, just came to share that too.Gutted for the team, been Honda stalwarts for years and get shat on...
Joke of it is the Blade is an old nail these days and HRC wont win any more than Ten Kate....
Real shame, and very likely a huge and permanent loss to the paddock.
No shock that Tek Kate are done, they have had a woeful few years and their business model or years relied on race success to sell kits and their engineering to customers.
They used to have a big shop, no idea what happened to that, but their recent fork is terrible, OK, the bike is not great, but they were well funded and did nothing, poor rider choices and seemingly no idea how to develop.
I feel they are old school, tuners, carb setter uppers, never forget that from about the late 90's to ten years or so later their Supersport engines were almost unbeatable.
This might also be a way of just closing a firm down, and maybe starting again with something new.

I dont think you can describe any racer thats been on the grid for what seems like years as bitter.
Imagine doing that job.
Watched the Macau race and there was Rutter running around near the front having the time of his life
I bet the likes of foggy are spewing as once you're not racing anymore those titles mean nothing.
