BSB- Oulton Park

[egor110]

Bridewell is 2nd on the grid for race 1 , that's all anyone needs to know

[Zarco]

Never mind that, go on Hickman!

Joking aside, genuinely impressed to see the new S1000RR so far up already. Judging by BSB its no where near as developed as the V4R.

[egor110]

it was quite honest of redding admitting the track made him nervous !

god knows what he'll make of cadwell or knockhill but if he comes back net season i think he'll be a lot better.

Some good rides by loads of guys, young Archer looks a find, Elliot too keeping the form.

Suzuki look a little lost.

Think once they sort the Duke it will be gone, bit of an unfair advantage that bike!!

Not really. They all comply to the same rules. This new S1000RR looks like it’s going to a real weapon once the upgrades and a better engine come through.

I’m happy to see Brookes going well though. I’d really like to see o’hallorans luck change, he seems a genuinely good guy.

Yes, but I suspect he started to believe the hype that followed him into last season, and then started to go a bit downhill.

It would not suprise me in the slightest if PBM went to World Superbikes nexr year with Redding..

[chunder27]

Birdy has had his hands burned before in SBK, plus not sure any manufacturer would want a high profile team run by a guy with his record.

Think he is quite happy in britain, not that he can rally anymore lol!

Great performance from Ryan Vickers in only his second outing in BSB.

If he doesn't win a race this year, he definitely will next year. Talented lad.

Richard Cooper looks unstoppable in the stock 1000 and will walk it.

[egor110]

Great results for brookes and bridewell but really good for redding after his fall in morning practice.

[chunder27]

Have to admit it looks a bit ominous this level of Ducati domination already.

I know it's not the same, but we do not want the Bautista situation happening in BSB in my eyes. And you would hope if it happens Higgsy will try and do something about it.

the rest of the grid is so close, so unpredictable.

Buchan is riding superbly, the bike has literally no sponsors!! Farmer is finally riding a Superbike well, Hicky looks to have found something, was impressed also with Andy Irwin on that pig of a Honda and the OMG team look to also have found a nice little vibe going.

Just need to stop those DUkes making everyone look silly, or for someone to find a way to consistently match them

Went up on Sunday to get a couple of HJC helmets, but was my first time ever at Oulton. What a track!!! I've watched videos, and played Ride3, but being there...wow! I can't wait to race there.

I've been thinking this too....

[egor110]

Look who’s joint leading bsb

[alistair1234]

Why’s Ellison struggling so much in comparison to Hickman? It seems like he’s had more problems with the bike as well because he’s retired from 3 of the races so far as well I think.

Tyco boys don’t seem to be having the same issues.

Maybe the new bits are not on James' bike yet? hicky only got his stuff a few weeks ago.

I ahve always thought James suited Dukes, Yamaha style front endy bikes. But he goes well on most things, was good on the Honda when a lot were not.
