BSB » GSE to make shock Yamaha switch in 2009

Every Haslam basher on here can shut the hell up, haslam is obviously hugely talented and deserves his chance on the world scene right now hes been there and done it and had some good results, many people seem to forget that haslam was the youngest ever point scorer in 500 gps at one point, haslam if he stays in BSB will romp away with it next year, and if he goes to WSB with sterilgada or stiggy honda will surprise big time.

I hated haslam until this last 2 months, where he has shined through, and since i read rocket men.

Im just sick of people who probebly cant even hold there own in an inters group on a track day, let alone a lowly track day bash at the haslams.

featherz - Last 2 months he's shined through ... 2 words. CONTRACT TIME.

Come off it Tim Bo theres no one is BSB who wants it more than Haslam, that is his only downfull he wants it to much, but hes come of age now, and i believe wether in BSB next year he will be champion or in WSB he will be a top 6 man all season.

featherz - how about Shakey , Sykes , Crutchlow .... all want it bad , my issue with Leon is he's had a lot of great rides in BSB , top rides and not won it.
He's obviously talented , but is he more talented or deserving than the above 3?

Colin, it's time to put James Ellison on that factory yamaha and turn him loose!!!!! hooya!!! JT

Tim Bo- Haslam is beating all of them except byrne who arguably got a massive advantage at the start with the Duc being miles ahead of the others, they are catching up now and I can't remember the last time Shakey won, getting a podium at contract time for say a toni elias is one thing winning 4 of the last five races and coming second in the one you didn:t win is a whole different ball game, remember new tyres and undeveloped bike that arrived late this season.. There are too many people wanting to see unproven youngsters at the top level when they haven't developed/dominated at the lower levels, WSBK place should be between 1 and 2 in the championship not the guy whose in 4th or 5th..

Haslam - crap season - 2nd
Sykes - great season - 3rd
Crutchlow - great season- 4th 30 points back of sykes
Camier - ok season - 5th

Only beating Shakey et al in the last 3 rounds or so .. i'm not convinced with him but as ever , i'd love to be proven wrong.
If Leon stay's in BSB next season and with the same team set up then he must do the business then for sure.

Tim bo -- you seem incredibly impressed by the young guns in BSB but completely unimpressed when they all get their 4rse's handed to them on a plate in 5 out of the last 6 races... their either so good it takes real quality to beat them 5 times in a row or they're not good enough if a so called hasbeen is teaching them a lesson, you can't have it both ways...

Sccot, The racer for the roads wouldn't be Guy Martin would it?
