Fantastic showing for Cal Bow down ! ( and the last lap passes between 1st and 2nd placed Pedrosa and Lorenzo shows why F1 is like watching paint dry) and he has a ride for next year too !

But don't forget Huddersfield's own Tom Sykes who earlier today took a first and a second in World Superbikes for Kawasaki in the first ever race at the new Moscow speedway Thumbs Up

and tomorrow we we have BSB at Cadwell, was thinking of going 'till I found my boy HAGA is out with a shoulder injury - crashed in free practice today. The pictures of Tommy Bridewell going over " The mountain" at Cadwell were awesome on eurosport - must have had 3 feet of fresh air between him and the pavement - balls of steel or what ?

Whilst it was fantastic to see Cal get 3rd and the last couple of corners were rather good, the rest of the race was as boring as any F1 race. Slightly better than the last one which was awful. Sadly MotoGP has become really dull
lately.
It's a shame I can't get WSB, I believe it's still the best racing out of the world championships.
Can someone confirm that Jonathan Green is still commentating on Eurosport for WSB? His voice winds me up. Otherwise I might try watching it on the internet.

Stooby I'm with you on this one - WSB & BSB (and the TT) are the better formats for fans than the Moto GP. Nonetheless, seeing British riders seriously challenging for podium finishes in any motorcycle racing is just fantastic to watch. Thumbs Up

90% of the time on British Eurosport on SKY it is Jack Burnicle and James Whittam, brilliant team, they also do BSB ( with Larry Carter and James Hayden) , when there is a clash, WSB tends to get different commentary from a few teams who may include Terry Rymer, Neil Hodgson, and sometimes Green has made the odd appearance, but Burnicles and Whit ( in particular) reign supreme, it's like being at the races with a couple of knowledgable mates.

I think Eurosport may also concurrently use different english speaking commentators for different media/markets 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
