BSB Oulton Park - start of the showdown

[FourWheelDrift]

Qualifying just starting, Burnicle off ill and Heuwen replacing him on commentary.

[Mr Dendrite]

Not the right thread but today’s racing of WSBK at Jerez has been cancelled after the ssp300 race was red flagged due to an accident. Doesn’t sound good…

Heads up.

Superbikes live on Freeview (Quest) tomorrow and next Sunday.

Didn't look good on TV, a rider / bike hit by possibly 3 or 4 other bikes, but they didn't show replays :-( They immediately red flagged :-(

Rider died :-( RIP Dean Berta Viñales, 15 years old :-(

And now two red flags in British version of same class, it does make you wonder if these bikes are not quite the right fit for this sort of series, I certainly think there ought to be less bikes on grid the international 300 series is insane, and they just look far more dangerous and errant than Moto3 riders.

O'Halloran got his showdown off to a flyer then!

[LukeBrown66]

I do hope he does not throw it away, he deserves it more than anyone else but is now in the silly Showdown mixer, but it's the same for everyone

[Zarco]

It's between the two Yamaha riders for me.

Brookes seems to have found form just in time. Part of me would love to see him take the championship again as I love an underdog. O'Halloran definitely deserves it given his form this year, and how unlucky he's been in the past.

[Jazoli]

Eurosport missed the moves O'Halloran put on Brookes at Knickerbrook, they were forceful to say the least, I've seen very few overtakes there and he did it 3 times to Brookes, he was pushing very hard.

The accident in SS300 was caused by 2 riders going straight on at Hizzys then pushing straight back in at Knickerbrook causing the pile up, it was not pleasant to watch and totally the riders re-joining fault, I hope they are penalised heavily for it as it made me feel sick.

Good days racing, perfect weather and can't wait till tomorrow for some more.

Another very sad case. In my humble opinion the minimum age for racing these types of bikes should be 17.

At least Taz can't get the blame for that off

Maverick's cousin and riding for his dad's newly formed team. 15, too young. RIP.

I always thought Taz would win the title and then go onto WSBK

You will certainly be half right.

Yep, sounds like Taz is off to GO11 who are changing to yams....

So sad to hear another loss of a youngster in this sport, I do feel something needs to give. Maybe smaller grids and less pressure, IDK ?

Thats me set up camp for the day.

Have a good day

I'm not sitting behind you this time I've got tickets for Donington next week. Oulton's a bit to far for a day trip. Enjoy!
