Thanks for this Pete, I will have a look later -got to do some work now!

Regarding Tech3 -

I saw a similar comment in an article in the MCN, they also ran a feature on JT and by all accounts a fair few of the WSB paddock are after him, and the Pramac Ducati option is being talked about too.

Apparently Alex De Angelis was in the running for the ride too, but I guess taking Nicky Hayden out hasn't done him any favours.

A new team would be a welcome addition, but you're right - to think you can take on Yamaha, Honda etc etc you're either Mad, or know something the rest of us don't!

A cunning plan if ever I heard one!

Guintoli's announced he's staying in BSB with Suzuki next year,but it looks like Camier's off to WSBK.Kiyonari has been nowhere at Croft so far,no idea what's going on with him,seems to have lost the plot at the moment ? :S.

Morning, you're on it early today!

Not surprised about Camier really, he's miles ahead of the rest of the field so you can't really begrudge him his chance, hopefully he'll get a good ride and make a good impression.

Would expect anyone on the Honda to be doing well, they're one of the bigger teams so you'd think he'd be somewhere in the mix.

I'm happy that Simon Andrews is doing well - the Kawasaki team is based in Colchester which is pretty much our 'local' team, so got to give them some support, and I ride a kawa too!

Simon Andrews has had a decent year,which is good to see.I'm not surprised Camier is going to be bagged by a WSBK team either.he struggled a bit at the start of last year after his injury but this year he has been in a class of his own.If Spies goes to MotoGP,wouldn't be that surprised to see him on his bike (unless Toseland ends up there ?).If that happened I'm not sure where that would leave Tom Sykes though ?.

Numnut,did you get chance to watch that Spies clip ?,I thought it was genius.

Right off to work now,late as usual !.

Watched it a little while ago - I almost choked when he gave the kitten answer! It all sounds so sincere too. Brilliant!

Rossi with the cat at the end was pretty funny too!

Have fun at work. Nothing beats working on a sunny Saturday!

'If I don't win,I don't get ma key chains',what a legend ! :)

On a more serious note,John Hopkins is out for the rest of the season following his nasty crash at the Nurburgring.Initial reports that he was relatively OK (apart from his shoulder and wrist) seem to have been a bit premature.He has been diagnosed with a type of 'head trauma' which looks like some sort of bleeding on his brain.He has been given a 6 week layoff which obviously means the end of his WSBK campaign for this year.Man,how much crappy luck can one guy have in a season ?.First he lost his MotoGP ride when Kawasaki bailed (at the 11th hour,leaving no available rides),then his monster bone breaking crash at Assen and finally this !.Hope he recovers,Hopper is a fantastic rider and a top bloke but I think its fair to say this hasn't been his year ! :(

Numnut,

Noticed there's a couple of interesting behind the scenes video's made at the MSS Kawasaki factory on the official BSB site,just thought you might be interested.There both only a few minutes long,coffee break friendly !.

Hearing a few rumours about Neil Hodgson considering a return to the series next year.Not sure which teams he has been in touch with,but they seem to have originated from the man himself ?.One source is Crash.net.If it happens would be interesting to see how gets he on.

Stuart Easton won his (and Hydrex Honda's) first BSB race today,ace news !.

Thanks, Good spot, will give those a look a little later.

BSB was really good yesterday I thought, Camier did well getting through the field after nearly ending up in a ditch, bit disappointed for Simon Andrews - though he made a nice overtake on Josh Brooks which looked a little risky! Can't imagine those two are the best of friends.

And well done to Stuart Easton he's a good rider to watch and comes across as a nice guy in interviews. I think he may be on to bigger and better things at some point soon too.

I actually watched the Supersport race too, was like watching 125gp bikes, over taking all the time - Steve Plater ended up winning but he didn't get in front until the last lap or second from last can't quite remember! Either way it was good to watch. Should maybe make time for WSS now too!

I don't think it has been John Hopkins year for a while, didn't he have a big smash last year in GP which destroyed his season (not that the bike didn't do that for him)? Now two injuries this season in WSB, he's gotta be wondering what he has to do to get a break (that's a bad bad pun) this year. He's not on a bad bike either. Leon Haslam has been pretty convincing on it this year.

I'm sure I read something about Shakey Byrne's Ducati squad not finishing the season due to money troubles.....
