WSBK » WSS: Plater gets Triumph call

Top 6 for sure.

Yeah, I think Steve could do a job on the Triumph around Brands! Should be good to see how he and Karl Harris do in the Supersport category at world level. I would say the same for Billy McConnell but I don't rate the Kwaka 600 that highly, unfortunately I think he could be on a dog there.

Why not Glen Richards surly a better as he is leading BSS on a Triumph already.

I agree with del, i was surprised it wasnt richards they chose. but you know what, its a british marque, so its good to have a brit on it. Hope he goes well. triumph 675 is one thing we can shout and be proud about, i adore that bike!

Glen Richards would be an excellent choice certainly but it might come down to contracts, etc...He's certainly doing a good job on the bike in BSS!

P.S. I agree "Plymouth" that bike is gorgeous!

Why not Glen? Simply really. Hes leading the Championship and probably will it. Why risk losing it by taking an entry at Brands, having an off and then kiss goodbye to the title.

Steve is quickly becoming master of the roads. I wish him every success at brands and with the Triumph it may be a good move.

Steve Plater 11th in QP2, that's a pretty good Triumph debut isn't it?
I have to say I've been impressed by Pawel Szkopek as well: the Pole is replacing McCoy for this round, he missed QP1 for whatever reason, but he finishes 23rd of QP2, which is very good! On live video, just after the shower, Rob Frost was the first rider out so I heard the gorgeous sound of the 675 . I agree, Plymouth and Buelliful, fantastic bike...
