Here's a few pics. The full gallery (including the full highside sequence) can be found here. Yes, he walked away.

I'd like to thank whoever makes these decisions for moving the Silverstone round to Donington Park - and I say that with Silverstone only being 30 minutes away from me... I hate the place.

Bayliss at Brands? There was a gap and he took it.

The move on Haga in race one wasn't great, but I think he will have been surprised at how quickly Haga pulled his bike in after running wide. I...

Yep - agree with the above two posts. Anyone who says they never complain at work is lying - but getting the same complaint repeated by the media over and over again blows it all out of proportion.

There are rumours that HM Plant are moving to World Superbikes. Maybe that'll be proved incorrect now that both of their riders have switched teams.

Hmmmm... Is he actually whinging, or are people just picking up on him pointing out the problems with his package (because he's never struggled like this before in his career)? Anyway, five minutes...

Let me get this straight... If the team are struggling/disadvantaged he should be happy and if he's winning he should campaign for better circumstances for everyone else?

You must have been stood about ten feet away from me then!

You probably want the full sized image, rather than thumbnail ;)

Not sure about the whole "slippery" thing. I've ridden it three times since the resurface (once in the rain) and though it was fine - although granted I'm not going as quick as these guys!



I...

Hmmm... I wonder whether he'll be on the Yamaha next season, especially with rumours about Yamaha wanting to put a young rider on the bike ready for when Rossi moves on. I'm sure Rossi would love to...

Here are a few from a wet Donington Park for the MotoGP. Since they errected a million additional fences (which still didn't stop the track invasion) I was left somewhat frustrated by having to...

The Misano World Superbike race review is now online.

No doubt Honda could do more for Hayden, but he has to help himself. BOTH Gresini Hondas are in front of him in the title race at the moment, and they're a satellite team.

The race report for the Catalunya MotoGP race is done and online here.

I hope this doesn't happen for two reasons;
a) weakening of the BSB series
b) probably Ducati World Superbike domination

Race report for MotoGP's Mugello round is here.

Later on in the article that I quoted further up the page, there is this quote:

Now Ekerold wants to expand to a two-rider World Supersport team in 2008. But he warns: "If the money comes from...

Here's an interesting extract from an article on crash.net:

The only Brit in the Supersport class [at Silverstone] was Craig Jones, the 22-year-old who is backed by Gary Ekerold's Revè Ekerold...

Now that I've just about dried off, here are some shots from Silverstone boating lake...

The weather was not great, but I've seen as bad at races before. I've been getting sunburnt at the last few British Superbike rounds, so I guess Toseland et al are just unlucky! ;)

One thing to bear in mind too is the quality of ride, of which personal sponsorship plays a part. Look at some of the recent British riders like Hodgson who went to MotoGP on a crap bike. It...

As mentioned above, much of it is down to the media. They'll build us up just to knock us down. You only have to look at the hype that surrounds the England football team before every tournament (and...
