Very amusing

I think I’ll be the one who’ll be laughing when Leon Haslam secures one of those ‘not Leon Haslam’ spots. Who is going to be Sykes teammate at Puchetti Kawasaki.

I literally can’t wait to see which one he bags



Spoiler: it’s none of them..

Remy Gardner on GRT Yam next year. Taking Gerloff's seat.

Potential WSBK champion in years to come.

On what grounds are we basing that on exactly?

Honda now confirmed

Thanks for that. Updated.

Looks like Brad Rays of to WSB with MotoXracing Yamaha too.

If Tarran also goes to WSBK that would leave 2 potential seats within the Yamaha teams. It will be interesting to see who fills them.

I would imagine that they’ll be a number of announcements at the NEC Show.

I get the feeling Tarran's chance might have passed him by unfortunately.

Iddon confirmed at Oxford Products.

I like that signing. Good for Christian!

[DarthtaterM16]

Can’t imagine that Tarran won’t be riding for McAms again either.

I thought they were both confirmed end of last season.

I’m not sure to be honest.

Taz not confirmed and rumours are he’s possibly heading to Honda as they’ll arrange wildcards in wsbk for him with a view to moving over in 24

Interesting!

Would be cool to see how he went on the Honda in both categories.

With Glen leaving Honda will want a proven BSB winner. From what I can tell it’s only Leon Haslam and Tarran Mackenzie that are unsigned and meet such criteria.

But as Honda have confirmed Andy Irwin and Tom Neave for 2023, i’m pretty sure that is a non runner at least as far as the official Honda entry goes

Honda ran 3 bikes last year. Andy is a great rider and a BSB winner. I would imagine Honda would want another rider at the front and winning races.
Like has been said previously, if they’ve announced Jason at Yamaha, why not Taz.

They ran 4 bikes this season just gone.
Not impossible that they’ll have more than 2 but their announcement of Neave and Irwin seemed pretty definitive. Who knows though?

I’d quite like to see Mackenzie on a Honda to be honest.

Are there not any seats left in WSBK for Tarran. He’s clearly a world class rider.

I don’t think there are unfortunately. Think his chance was last season but it didn’t end up happening for whatever reason.

Danny Buchan confirmed as staying at TAS.

Danny Kent to GR Motorsport.

ETA. Not sure if that’s 2 bikes including Storm Stacey or if they’re sticking with just the one bike, with Danny on it.

Edited by roboxm3 on Sunday 20th November 16:46

I thought I read that he was going to be on a Honda next year. Are they switching bikes?

Girlfriend randomly booked tickets for Saturday at Thruxton last night.
First time ever seeing live bikes for her.

Never been to Thruxton but the misses has never been to see Superbikes either, thinking either Snetterton, Donington or Cadwell

Me neither. Been to donington and there’s a few good viewing spots there.

Thruxton’s the favourite of a lot of riders, but it’s not great for spectating as you can only watch from around 25% of the track - it’s only 30 mins from us, so it’s my favourite round of the year
The last chicane is the best place to watch from in my opinion

It’s just under an hour from where we’ll be living by then too.
Final chicane was where I had in mind too.

airsafari87 said:

Vickers on the 2nd OMG bike.

Have to say that I am slightly surprised at that.

Yeah I am as well to be honest. Nothing against Ryan but that's a championship winning bike and I just don't see him being a regular front runner.
Hope he proves me wrong though! good luck to him.

[DarthtaterM16]

Danilo Petrucci to Barni Ducati in WSB!

Great to see FS3 giving another youngster a chance!
