Reports seem to suggest Mason had mechanical problem which caused his bike to slow dramatically.Apparently Easton arrived at the scene traveling very quickly and was unable to avoid him,they weren't racing.It is now being reported that he also has a broken pelvis,hand and fingers,doesn't sound very good.Can't see him making the top 6 for the BSB showdown thing with those injuries.
and yes I still think it's rubbish!

Yeah I saw that too - I guess that's Easton's title/shootout (bet you're real happy that format has stayed.....), chances gone. They had high hopes for him on the ZX10 this year - the article said he collided with Gary Mason, sounds a bit funny....
Doesn't sound like a good deal for Lowes, hopefully he'll get a shot on the MSS bike, or any other one - he's made a good impression this year it'd be unfair if he didn't get a chance to play in BSB any more!
Have been meaning to check out I, superbiker, and wanted to watch the TT3D film, I've probably missed it now, some places were only showing it once every other day....

Just read that Stuart Easton has just crashed and broke his leg at the NW200.That's rubbish news,he had been going really well on the Kawasaki in BSB.Also read that Alex Lowes has just parted company from his EVO team with immediate effect.Apparently they tried to tie him down to 2 year riding/10 year management deal and he refused and walked.If MSS are looking for a replacement for Easton he would surely be worthy of consideration?
Watched I Superbiker the other night,it's really good well worth a rent IMO.As it was finishing and the titles were rolling I mentioned to my lovely wife that TT3D is still on at one of our local cinema's and we could perhaps try and catch it one night.It's probably best that I don't repeat her answer on here!

Cool,the GP is an amazing event.Don't know if you've ever been before but you won't be disappointed.I've been a few times,going again with a bunch of my mates this year (just for race day),really looking forward to it.
I agree,BSB has been really good this year.Knew Hopper wouldn't disappoint,he's a class rider.Always think superbikes look too big to race around Croft though,looks a bit like a fleet of Boeing 747's trying fly around my patio! :)

[i]Fairly uneventful racing this weekend, not much to chat about really.........!
Very good :)
Yeah racing was interesting to say the least! I do feel sorry for Pedrosa now having a matching pair of broken collarbones but it was a racing incident IMO.Thought Sic's penalty was extremely unfair,reckon it was basically dished out just because it was him.Lorenzo's very hard move on Dovi early in the race was worse IMO.Yet it would appear that if you are a world champion Dorna give you preferential treatment,sucks TBH.[/i]
I think you're right, Lorenzo's move on Dovi was a more of a barge out the way than anything else - If Pedrosa was bigger, he could have done the same to Simoncelli!
From looking at the Sim/Pedrosa crash, it looks like Pedrosa went in too hot, panicked and then stood the bike up. Fair enough he may not have panicked if Sim was not there - but GP bikes aren't subtle he would have known he was there but still refused to back off, it's a hard move, but they're allowed to race aren't they?
I think Parish was right in his comments on the BBC, a ride through for something like that is a bit harsh - a post race investigation where rider data is available may have answered more questions....unless it was an ideal solution to make a point regarding people's complaints about simoncelli.....
BSB was good too, Hopper is going well on the Suzuki, Laverty on the Swan Yam seems to be imitating Josh brooks of a couple of years ago, and Lowes on the Evo bike is embarrassing a lot of people!
Oh, we've got tickets for the GP at silverstone too!

WSBK was epic this weekend.Laverty rode 2 amazing races,I was well impressed.As for Biaggi,not sure where his head is at times?,for a guy with his experience he does seem to make a fair few silly mistakes.
If Mr. Lorenzo wishes to check his job description I think he'll find that it says motorcycle RACER.Anyway,if people are not impressed with Simoncelli's on track conduct just wait until Iannone gets to MotoGP!

Not a good week for the Kawasaki WSBK team
Yeah I saw that too, apparently it's quite common.......
Nevermind, the team are already on the way to Monza, so the Kawas will still be racing.
Welcome HiddenWingz, nice to have another contributor!
GP was a bit of a let down compared to the races we've already had this year (still doesn't make it bad though!), Pedrosa rode an impressive race shadowing lorenzo and then just doing one at the end!
I did enjoy the Lorenzo/Simoncelli 'argument' - I still think it's funny that Lorenzo would think Simoncelli is dangerous. I think amongst the younger riders there's a real fear of racing, they just want to fly off in to the distance. I can't see anything wrong with how simoncelli rides.
I wonder how some of those guys would fair on a BSB track?
Brilliant races again last weekend, Hopper rode two very good races, and Josh brooks really has a knack for over the top crashes - god knows what went through Stuart Eastons head as he saw that in the air infront of him!
