BSB » Walker back to BSB with Rob Mac Yamaha

Walker has be consistently the fastest and highest point scorer in just every team he has been in for years. With the notable exception of his latest where he only had one second tear bike to work with. If anyone on here thinks Walker is not fast think again, he will if he gets the right bike under him in right team be as fast as anyone in the BSB paddock. Remeber he won a WSB race just 3 of seasons ago when it rained!

As for the change from SS mid way though the season, what choice had when they are putting age limit on the SS bikes for next year? He was invisible on sh1t bike.

I hope this works for you Chris, you deserve the luck that has been missing in recent years.

Nick - thanks for that. The muppets who booed Stoner want stringing up and banning from any event with bikes involved. I just think walker gets it too easy all because of his past glories. You should've said and i would've met you at race of the year...

Rejoice!!!!!

Hopefully Rob will place Jon Kirkham alongside Stalker - this series needs to promote young British talent, and what better way to have a young charger alongside an old pro like Walker?

glad chris is coming back to b s b missed him over here i have known chris for a long time through a close friend he is a great guy you could not wish for a nicer person love to him & rob for beliveing in him sue x x

Thought i would have a quick look to see who's on the site, regret it now!. The Dark will return when the racing starts again, must love ya and leave ya, stuff to do. good bye 08 and good rids.

You make your own luck in this game and Chris was doing all the right things until he put one over Crescent to go and race for Shell in GP's. Ever since then he's been "unlucky".

And why is that? Poor team decisions - Foggy Petronas when nobody could make that bike into a consistent title challenger - hardly did him any favours.

And I expect his messing Crescent around didn't do him any favours within the race paddock - it's a small racing world and people don't forget things easily. The only way it would have been forgotten is if he'd made the 500GP ride work and became a regular contendor. Then people would conveniently forget their past experiences. It took Crescent a long time..

to forget about the past, and when they gave him a lifeline what did he do? Not much, yet the next year Sykes was awesome on the bike.

Walker always struggles with tyre issues in races, no matter what bike he rides, but hasn't realised that it's his style on the bike that's causing this. You only have to watch the way he's using up the rear tyre early in a race to see that, but he either doesn't see that, or does but can't change his style. Unless he can change (and it's getting a bit late) then he'll not be a regular challenger.

Expect Ellison to beat him next year.

Did ya notice how Sykes had the same tyre issues at the start of the season? Difference being Big Jack was then the team manager and they did something about it! Walker's problem was also noted by Hodgeson when he rode it, but Simon Buckmaster just seemed to ignore the prolem. Walker just needs some luck, who wouldn't have signed for a team with an NSR500, running the same spec as Rossi's bike (ha ha), over the suzuki team who couldn't decide where to go?

A BSB Legend returns lets hope you light up the series and get were you deserve to be BRITISH CHAMPION even thought you are in my eyes already.Met Chris when he tested the Rizla suzuki at mallory with Cal Crutchlow and what a star he was taking time out to speak with the fans that were there.
