BSB 2011

So now we are taking shape.

Byrne is to join Kiyo at HM Plant Honda. I feel a bit for Kiyo, he should really be getting on at a higher level, but BSB seems to be his area of expertise and he can't get a ride anywhere else.

Byrne? Good choice for the ride, but has only really been quick in BSB with a Ducati and the best team. He has perhaps the best team now but can he adapt to a 4 again? I think he can but he wont be as quick as Kiyo.

Yeah its shaping up MUCH better than last year - been some surprising moves though..

Brookes to Relentless, and Laverty having been looking for an extension has headed for the door instead! (who have dropped Cam Donald from the roads btw)
Hill and Michael Laverty at Relentless Suzuki (thats a strong pairing)
Easton back to MSS Kawasaki

What happens now with the Worx Suzuki team? Is this the end of Crescent or will they too switch marques to Yamaha (for instance)?

Anyway looks like a good season shaping up.

Im looking forward to 2011

HM Plant should go well again (even if i dont like byrne)

Swan Yamaha will be one of the teams to beat, good rider line-up on what sounds like full works bikes.

MSS should do better this year with Easton and them new bikes! Will be intresting to see who gets the other MSS bike.

Also well happy Tommy Bridewell will be on a good bike. Loved his old Honda but just didnt have the pace anymore. Hope he goes well on the ex-HM Plant bike

Alastair Seeley does the british supersport cs with TAS Suzuki in 2011. It is announced too that Seeley will get a full set of bikes for the NW 200 as well

**gomick** · 10 Dec 2010, 20:37 (Ref:2802671)

Seeley dropping back to 600's? He had a great 1st up SBK season...

rich_cooper · 13 Dec 2010, 12:09 (Ref:2803780)

It was a suprise to me that he is dropping down. But with it being a new bike and with them now the works backed team. Maybe he is thinking to the future. Maybe WSS in 2012

chunder · 13 Dec 2010, 17:58 (Ref:2803947)

To be ruthless he was a litlte disappointing at times on the circiots, despite being awesome in the wet and at early rounds and obviously at the North West

Was totally overshadowed by Laverty, and they dont really need him as a roads man now that Marting is there.

**gomick** · 15 Dec 2010, 10:17 (Ref:2804655)

Bit harsh, top 6 finish in debut season in most competitive domestic SBK championship world wide... Tho, you wouldve seen the races, not me!

chunder · 15 Dec 2010, 18:25 (Ref:2804845)

Was a little non existent in some aces though, as if he was on a Yamaha!!

Whilever Paul Denning is tied up with the Suzuki MotoGP team, one would assume Crescent will stick with Suzuki's.

Any word on Kagayama?

chunder · 19 Dec 2010, 10:19 (Ref:2806248)

I cant believe he is coming back, did very little last year otehr than crash, same old Kags really!

No idea what their team is going to be, no news, and most of the riders have been snapped up!

Hawkwood · 19 Dec 2010, 16:28 (Ref:2806326)

Please could someone tell me about the BSB weekends?
I mean, there are three races each round? Are they all on the Sunday like BTCC or is one on the Sat.
I've never been to see BSB at all, but I want to go to the Oulton Park round at the beginning of May and I'm not sure which ticket to get, so that's why I'm asking lol.

Thanks for the help

**gomick** · 19 Dec 2010, 21:10 (Ref:2806355)

Is Kageyama on a factory Suzuki again - thats rubbish if true...

chunder · 20 Dec 2010, 20:24 (Ref:2806649)

If you buy a raceday ticket then just go on the raceday! They are not expensive if you get one now I imagine.

They only ran three rounds near the end of the season coz it was the decider and also coz of cancelled meetings I think.

Qually is cheaper on the Saturday but you might only get the odd race and usually not a BSB round

Hawkwood · 20 Dec 2010, 21:58 (Ref:2806688)

Thanks chunder

The official site wasn't terribley helpful at giving info for a first time viewer lol
If there's no racing (at least, no BSB racing) on the Sat then I'll just go for the Sunday tickets, cheers dude

Jenny Tinmouth has signed to run an Aprilia for Splitlath Motorsport in the EVO class. I've just seen clips of her at the TT, so I don't know much about her. She is quite easy on the eyes though...

Michael Rutter and Martin Jessup will be back with the Ducati.

Wow, Crescent lands Samsung as a sponsor and adds a second bike for Kirkham.

Looking forward to BSB this year. If only I could find some race footage!
