    Bsb 2015

    Anyone following this?

    Cadwell Park this weekend, absolutely awesome looking track, they know how to make a race track over there!

    I've missed the last few rounds, the last race I saw before Thruxton was Knock hill where Shakey was dominating, now I see he's dropped off the pace and Josh is on it!

    Anyone got insight as to what's happened to Shane Byrne? Injury, bike problems?

    Yes , been following BSB this year since the start, racing is some of the best I have ever seen in all classes, with large fields and nothing in it from first to last having great battles. World Superbikes is second in the stakes compared to BSB. Also they certainly know how to run there meetings over there, no stoping once a race is underway, unless a real bad incidents.
    Only highlights showing this weekend though.

    Matt Bleck, do you see Jimmy Mac up there in Gizzy.

    He wasn't on the pace at the last round at all, I think due to not liking the track. Was very lucky to score a podium, due to others falling off. Josh had a double win, which helped him a lot. Binned it during the victory burnout after race 2. Some of the best racing you will see. Brilliant footage and very close racing.

    I have the recorder set to record it, so it will keep me entertained for a few nights viewing.

    And then Hopkins was taken out in race 2 when in about 8th place. He sure is not having much luck

    Yes.

    And yes. I believe the Cadwell Park track was originally a MotoX track. Don't know if that's actually true but it would explain a lot.

    Fucking entertaining.

    Some of those crashes over the jump were crazy.

    Raced there last month. Is mental, not much chance to rest and much of it is blind....

    The Mountain actually levels a little before the top, which means the bike is light either front or both wheels, before you get to the very top, which then adds to the effect. Would be very easy to loop a bike there. It is BLOODY steep.

    You really need to know where you are and spend a lot of time picking it apart for most mortals. Probably the hardest track in the UK to learn.

    The original circuit dates from the 30's I believe and was from the base of the mountain, through hall bends, back down the front straight and turned right, back to the base of mountain.

    Even on the little 350 TZ I was riding you felt the G force in the dip in Park Straight. Would be hard core on a BSB bike.

    Geearing was 1 tooth on the rear shorter than I use at HD.
