Thruxton BSB!
Just watched the races from Thruxton. How brilliant was Glen Richards today?! I have been a fan of his since I started following the bikes. I went to the first rounds this year and he got his first podium and today he was outstanding! Well done Glen!!!!
I feel quite worn out after just watching those races - a 30min BSB race is 1000x better than a 90min F1 race! Just watched San Marino GP and dont know why I bothered! Roll on Oulton Park |

Watching the bikes at Thruxton are just amazing! It has to be one of the best tracks. What does anyone else think?

But with testing, there's no excitement!! There's nothing to push for and nothing to gain from going a bit quicker. But putting everything on the line for a podium is spectacular! That's why people have to pay to see races but not testing! LOL!

Talking to my physio who was working on my karting injuries yesterday and he said the Japanese lad who races for Rizla Suzuki was in all last week being worked on so he could race at the weekend. Does anyone know if that team is based in Verwood/Bournemouth as I keep seeing their vans about the place? Sounds like they have been in the wars as Reynolds has a bust collarbone as well IIRC. Anyone know why the japanese lads been placed in BSB?

Kagayama has a flat supplied by Suzuki in Bournemouth, team are based down there but not exactly sure where. He's is employed by the Suzuki factory and is here to help develop the GSXR ready for full factory return to WSBK as a guess.
