Although he wasn't down to ride Rizla Suzuki have got the funding for Tom to race at Donington so we'll be able to cheer on James Ellison, Cal Crutchlow, Leon Haslam and Tom on Sept 4-7th smile

Great news, sykes has been fantastic this year, and he would be alot closer to shakey, if he didnt have a nightmare start to season.

Hope he can beat all the other brits, this guy deserves to be at the top, before haslam and crutchlow in my opinion.

Brit invasion for donningtion!!
Maybe next year in WSBK too!!

Yeh-but don't forget another of your "ex-men" could well be favourite Craig.

I'd have another fiver on RK (well, I would if Bwin.com had paid out on my last win furious )
p.s.

It's going to be a great round to watch, although I am going to find it difficult watching the Supersports without Jonesy, especially at Donington.

Gotta say my money is on RK as well, it was his first win I seem to remember in BSB once the guys from Honda let him set the bike up how he wanted too and then he just dissappeared at Donington . .. He's a bit good round there.

I know it's been said on here previously that we need to see whether Cal has really got the talent, but for me this year he's been the star. A few silly mistakes, but I think he's really got the speed of the new guys. Sykes has been very impressive, but it's not his first year on a Superbike.

I hope Cal get's to World's next year as he needs to do what Johnny Rae has done and forget winning the BSB title, just use it as a springboard for your career and get a good factory supported ride in WSS or WSB.

If Haslam isn't careful he'll get stuck permanently in BSB being overtaken career wise by the likes of Crutchlow, Rae and Sykes. This is an interesting view on movements for next year . ..
