BSB » Gowland to race Moto2 machine in Spain

Graeme is quite possibly the nicest guy in the BSB paddock. His ride this season cost him money out of his own pocket and he wasn't too far behind the wiley old dog Walker. I'd love to see this ride go well for him and give him a decent ride next season.

BSB » Bridewell: Ollie can have his bike back now.

I would love to see Tommy on a bike that was produced in the last couple of seasons, especially with a good team (with a decent amount of money) behind him. What the Bridewells have achieved this season has been fantastic - they really have done Ollie and his memory proud.

BSB » Harris forced out of season finale

Harris has signed for SMT for next season. Unfortunately that's another ride going to someone who's had their chances instead of an up and coming rider like Adam Jenkinson. I've watched the crash a few more times and Hill was pushing it, but not recklessly. Easton got pushed wide because there's only one line through the kink leading up to Shell. Harris (for whatever reason) thought he could get round Hill on the outside of the hairpin, which is a no-no. You would think he'd be aware of the dangers of Shell after Shakey took him out last season there. People continue to back Harris, but he's not had a decent race since Croft '07. Not to mention the drink problems he's had mid-season...

MOTOGP » de Puniet 'booted' back to eleventh.

I'm glad RDP will have another year - he's really done well this season. Apparently his personal trainer has a lot to do with his new attitude, where he finishes races and doesn't knock other riders off in first lap incidents.

WSBK » Spies: The equation is very simple...

Gotta agree with you there Dawg, although some of the battles Foggy had were on a par with the Bayliss/Edwards battles. This season has had some fantastic races and you've got to admit it's close (if not better than) the '02 season, without the Bayliss domination in it's first half then Edwards coming back stronger than an East German female shot putter.

MOTOGP » Estoril drama ends with podium.

'Tarsal or 'carpal, he rode well this weekend and seemed more than sincere when apologising to Nico in the post-race interview - unlike Iannone's apology to Pol in the pits. Bradley rode well this weekend - I thought that his fall to seventh was the beginning of a lonely ride, but he fought back better than he has all season. If only Cortese hadn't messed up his chances on the straight at the beginning of the final lap, leaving Pol to take the win he was owed after the last turn kamikazee incident. Everytime I see Brad talking on the TV or have the fortune to hear him chatting at the Think stand at a BSB round, he continues to impress me. Come on Brad!!!

WSBK » Corser: I’d have won with BMW last year!

The development that Troy and the team have done this season is pretty impressive, although the Aprilia has outshone the S1000RR this season, the WSBK paddock has had two awesome bikes and teams joining it this season, not just some FP1 aquamarine also-ran. If only KTM could pull their fingers out and MV could develop the F4 into a decent bike... Just imagine 9 factory manufacturers racing!

WSBK » Byrne enjoys ‘fun’ run to top ten

A couple of good rides by Shakey. That second race battle with Yukio was a cracker. They were knocking lumps out of each other and swapping paint everywhere, then as soon as they were over the line a quick handshake and well done to each other. You just don't see that in many other sports and that's one of the many reasons I love this sport.

WSBK » Vermeulen talks Kawasaki WSBK switch

Hopefully the ZX-10 can start performing like it's been doing for Ryan Farquhar on the roads. I think Kawasaki will be serious about getting back to the competitive rides of the Russell/Yanagawa era because they're not selling bikes because of their GP performances. Actually, they've not been doing that for a long time...

WSBK » Rea disappointed not to win in France

Top Honda, top Brit, top Ten Kate rider and top 5 in his first season with 2 wins to his name. Yet some mindless fanboys keep talking incessant rubbish about Rea. I have a feeling they'll be really quiet next season when he'll be up there every race. It took cojones for Ten Kate to change to Ohlins in the middle of the season and Rea and Checa (at times) have had some impressive results. Johnny and Leon have done us proud this season - so has Shakey in the second half of the season after getting to grips with the average Sterilgada Ducati.
