Leon Haslam was in a philosophical mood despite seeing his hopes of a podium finish at World Superbike level dashed when he was caught up in a collision with Roberto Rolfo.
Not so Ferkin funny when it happens to you Mr Haslam is it, I bet Tom was pissing hiself when he saw that happen..... Bit Like oulton, But the ball is on the other foot. What comes around go's around.

Leon has tasted his own medicine and boy is it sour!
After all this talk of going out to win, he was outshone by Ellison, Sykes and Crutchlow on the track he's supposedly an expert on. Sykes managed to stay on with a dry weather setting in the second race and Haslam made a schoolboy error at the Old Hairpin.
I don't like to see riders go down, but both times made my laugh my man boobs off!
Haslam didnt really make a schoolboy error at the old hairpin.. It was noticed that he didnt even touch the power when the back end went. It was simply a lack of grip, wet patch, whatever.
And as for all this rubbish about Leon deserving to be knocked off, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. The BSB boys did this country proud on Sunday afternoon. Up against some of the greatest riders the world has ever seen (Bayliss, haga, Corser etc) they showed their class.
Leon kept pace with Bayliss and had already comfortably passed Sykes before he was cleaned out.
Also, ive seen worse riding this year than haslam taking sykes down at croft that have all gone unpunished.

Cal deserved his podium, as did Sykes. Leon deserved every bit of gravel rash he got from this weekend.
Everyone else let their riding do the talking, whether it was Hickman, Kirkham, Kennaugh, Martin, Frost, Rea, Laverty, Linfoot, Rea, Ellison, Lowes, Burrell or Walker. Nobody else opened their mouths and ended up looking like a complete chump.
haha that was funny RMushet ... and true. guy with most chances in the brit paddock always blaming something for not winning

leon "flapping his legs" - he's actually quick changing down the gears to get the right speed into the corner.
Paula radcliffe nods her head when she's running marathons, it helps her win some phenomenal races, so whats wrong with it?

I can't believe what i'm reading! Haslam rode well all weekend and was unfortunate not to get better results. In this article he says that he understands people get over ambitious whilst racing and doesn't dig his heels in over the rolfo incident even though he's had no apology. He apologised to Sykes at oulton for his own "over ambitious" move, and i'm certain Tom holds no contempt over it....So why do you lot? As for his riding style (flapping his legs) upsetting some "fans"... well so what? You think you can ride faster with your style? Racing is very confidence dependent, if you're not confident, you don't go quick. So talking a good race before the event can only help on the day.

I'm just curious to know why so many people who read this site seem to dislike Haslman Jr. What exactly has the lad done to upset so many people ?

Unregistered. Its more of what he hasnt done, Hi is a bit bit like a governmet official, Talk the talk, Be given the chances, And when nothing comes of it its not his fault. I cant dislike the Guy, I dont know him that well, But what i do know is that he is a waste of a factory ride, There are far more tallented young Brits who keep their mouths shut and let thier riding do the talking. Put James ellison on that bike and see How well He go's. I belive Ellison has earned that ride, Leon has a famous dad and won a scooter championship when he was 15......... Of course just my oppinion, counts for ferk all......LOL

Don't get me wrong on this...I'm a Sykes and Ellison fan from the supersport and Superstock days respectively... and i'm always cheering them over Leon in the BSB, but I don't think Leon deserves the abuse he gets on here. Let's not forget the £h!t bikes he's ridden in the past...I remember this same mentality towards Toseland before he started winning, always on top bikes and never getting the results, team managers saw something in him that they probably see in Haslam as well, just because we don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there....
