Most riders are contracted for 2013 but Smrz has lost his Splitlath ride after the team have "temporarily withdrawn from BSB so he would be favourite as he has every reason to break his contract. Aitchison in the same boat. Both have WSBk experience and could be good bets.

How about a left field suggestion. Gino Rea???

Hope so but he is struggling for cash/ sponsors.

Love Gino's riding style - the way he hangs off the bike and the rakish lean angles he gets - would be amazing to see him on the Beemer.

Tell her its a surprise and then just take her to Brands - its easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission ;-)

 

[Hoops]

Ha ha! Ive tried that one before but its not worth all the huffing and puffing all day long - would rather sit in front of my huge 8000 series Samsung and watch it in peace and quiet!!!

I may be working but hope not, where is the best place to view from?
