They're missing the first round,but doing all the rest.
Anyone else think it's a strange way to run a team? It comes across that they're making it up as they go along.

The huge money it takes to run a team in wsbk is punishing and other than the factory funded teams with big name sponsors,it must be like living hand to mouth. Hard to plan too far ahead.
You can't blame Bridewell for taking the opportunity to tick the box of having raced in a world series,but weather hampered rounds aside,I can't see him troubling the points scoreboard much.
I hope he does well and proves me wrong.

I watched race one superbikes and race one supersport. Ex Moto3 champ Jaume Masia was in a class of his own in the ss. As expected Nicolo Bulega topped everything so far,though the racing behind him was pretty good at times. Who would've had Yari Montella as the only one close to him,or Baldasari also on the podium?

Good close racing in the superpole race with both Bimota bikes on the podium. Bulega did what Bulega does.

Race 2 was a wet one and both the Lowes brothers doing what they do.
Great to see Taz take a 4th. He's waited a long time for a decent bike.
Kudos to Olivera for getting the BMW into the top ten from the back of the grid.

I caught the highlights on youtube at the weekend. It's been so long since I've watched WSBK that I have no idea who anyone is, apart from the Lowes brothers.

As for the Lowes bros, even back when I used to watch (Tom Sykes was on the Kwack) I felt they were disappointing, so I'm surprised they've hung on for so long.

I'm guessing WSBK has persisted with the saturday and sunday race format, not returned to both on the sunday?

It must be quite frustrating for some of Sam’s team members, where even the “Brolly Dolly” could possibly outperform him, and in his day, didn’t crash as frequently.
