How much bloody talent has this guy got, its just mind boggling watching his progress, on the tracks in the UK he has never ever seen or ridden on and leading the BSB pack in Super Stock 600 class, at Snetterton, amazing.
Again i woke up this morning and the results were with Free Practise 1 and one clear lap he was 1.3 seconds ahead of the rest, and has been on this form ever since he arrived in the UK.
This boy is so dam impressive, he will be one to watch as a rider, and he just seems to addapt to all tracks quickly and easily by his form.
I would bet he will be picked up by a top BSB Team shorty, although from what i have seen the Team he is with are doing pretty good themselves.
In first two rounds at BSB he was leading the Championship, he's now running second at the moment, after not finishing a race at Brands.
Looks like its wet for the racing at Snetterton tomorrow but i don't think that with bother Shane to much.
After being at Knockhill last year and seeing the track myself, and there is nothing anywhere near like it here in NZ, he relished in the conditions (typical Scotland, wind and rain) using his head there, he had difficulty getting to grips with track, bike set up and the conditions, but still added another host of points to his tally by running with the top three, outstanding.
Pretty cool lad is our Shane, never forget bumping into him and his Dad on a Road Ride a few years ago, at the summit on the Rimutakas, and asking Sue and I how do you go about getting into the racing, he said he would like to give it a go.
Well you never know unless you give things a shot, we all should be very proud to have a young Kiwi Lad in the very competitive BSB, and running at the sharp end.
Good Luck Shane, for the rest of the season.
