Go Sykes!
Good work by Jason O'Halloran too for his (as far as I know) overseas debut. He's a significant talent and would be a good choice as a replacement for one of the droves of BSB riders heading to the World Champs.

Jase ran a couple of WSS races last year for Yamaha and I think this is his second round of BSB.

Billy McConnell just in front of him!

Gary Mason has been disqualified from the results of race one and two after his bike was found to have breached technical regulations.

[themo]

Shane Byrne has won the 2008 Bennetts British Superbike Championship after his closest title contenders, Leon Haslam and Tom Sykes, eliminated each other from the running at Silverstone. :champion:

[Allyc85]

Congratulations to Shakey on a brilliant second title. I see hes now been confirmed in WSB for next year as well :D

[ArmchairBikeFan]

Gary Mason has been disqualified from the results of race one and two after his bike was found to have breached technical regulations.

Yeah, apparently Mason was running WSBK-spec camshafts, and BSB this year has Supersport engine rules. (Changing to WSBK-spec next year). Idiotic, whether it was deliberate or not. We'll see how quick he is at Brands Hatch next time out, when his engine will be torn apart in scrutineering afterwards...

[jonny hurlock]

Congratulations to Shakey, well earned second bsb title. good luck for world sbk next season.

Mason's bike is an ex-WSB Honda that Lavilla used earlier in the year. Perhaps they forgot to change it - Doh!!!
