WSBK » Haslam cheered on to superb second

Fantastic ride Leon- just gotta work on better qually performances now

Leon is a great rider, but there's not a bike out there that'll get near a Yamaha with Spies on it... yet.

If Stiggy do end up ditching Honda at the end of the season, which is beginning to look unlikely, they'd have to go to Yamaha, wouldn't they?

I'd like to see Leon go up against Ben, on equally matched equipment, i.e. on his own Yamaha. That'd be great to watch.

Yes agree with Rog superb race and proud to be partisan and when we thought Shakey for third Brit biker heaven,but i'll settle for that result.

Forgot to mention that I absolutely concur with Rog and Donna. Leon and Shakey rode like titans and the entire Brit pack did us proud!!

Leons team mate from last year at HM Plant rode none too shabby to dominate the WSS race.

So well done to HM Plant for helping Leon and Cal get to the levels thay are at today.

Brilliant pair of rides from Leon again, and another great result for Stiggy, 4 podiums thus far in their debut season in SBK is a magnificent achievement.

Thats wot i like tp see from eyebrows.


Win soon come.

I'm becoming a Haslam fan. Sure, Rea gave us the second best race of the season last week, but still, I find myself pulling for Haslam. I just can't help but like the guy.

Wise up boys, sure Haslam had a good ride yesterday but a world beater he ain't. He's a regular top ten man with an occasional podium when others hit problems.

He's had top machinery for years and more opportunities than most of the other Brits put together, if it wasn't for his Dad's money and contacts he'd just be another British "nearly man" like all the rest!

"He's had top machinery for years and more opportunities than most of the other Brits put together"

Oh look, another stuck record... so what's the excuse now, that the Stiggy machine is actually a full works effort in disguise, that's miles ahead of anything else on track ?

And what has his parentage got to do with it, haven't you noticed just how many racers are second or third generation, some are better than their dads, some are not so good, but they all deserve the same respect for their efforts. You really think someone like Colin Wright or Neil Tuxworth would hire someone based purely on a surname.


Get real, I don't think so, try get a clue.

"haven't you noticed just how many racers are second or third generation"

Errr, no!

Bradley Smith, Danny Webb, Leon Camier, Scott Redding, Tom Sykes, Cal Crutchlow, James Westmoreland, Kev Coghlan, to name but a few.

Oh yeah sure, their dads are all household names just like "Rocket Ron" aren't they?

Wright and Tuxworth are like all the other BSB team managers, they hire whoever will be reasonably near the front and pay them the best. The UK is coming down with young racers who could do the same as Haslam if given the same chance. They're good but they're not world beaters and neither is he!
