[NinjaMaster]

Gotta hand it to the Airwaves team, they're doing a great job.
Brookes has had a nightmare start to his 'dream' factory ride. First they are stuck with only one bike per rider, the the visa issues followed by his collision with Guintoli and it all (unsurprisingly) appears to be effecting his riding.
I'm so stoked that finally Buildbase and MSS Colchester have been able to prove that the Kawasaki ZX10R is not the dud that it looks to have been in most other series. With a well organised team and talented riders they are good (though not the best) and it's adding to the variety of a great series.

[Mach24]

I expect Brooksey to move up the field as the weekend progresses, first time at Thruxton and all.

However, I can not deny it has been a nightmare for Josh.

I hope he can get some good results through the remainder of the Championship.
