Yep, makes up for losing it by half a point to Biaggi last year. Well done Tom.

A request, if I May.

It's nice to chat about bike racing on here. But if you do it immediately after the race please don't give away the result in the subject line.

I'm sure lots of us go out on our bikes on a Sunday and catch the race later in the day. We may glance at the forum on a mobile device and... Spoiler!

I'm sad to say that, before seeing the article on the BBC website, I'd never heard of the bloke  :shy:

In my defence, I don't have Sky/BTSport so I only get to see what the beeb deign to put on normal telly and WSB is not one of them...

Go Tom... :occasion-balloons:  (hmm, not very convincing now, is it?)

It is shown on ITV4 albeit abridged, usually the following week. Really good to see Kawasaki winning it as well. They seem to have built a bike that has the measure of BMW and Aprilia. Rumours are that Ducati will be back again next year with works bikes and BMW and Aprilia may be pulling out.

I can never find it on ITV4 and I look hard. BSB is always on on Wednesdays and is good viewing (Jamie Whitham is brill) but WSB? Would aprreciate a shout on here if anyone finds in in the schedule - even if I know the result!

I pay £2.99 a month for the Eurosport Player, bargain.

www.eurosportplayer.co.uk

It seems to have gone up to £3.99 a month, I subscribed before the price went up.
