I missed the interview but bird is a bit of a c**t used to bullying his way thru life , maybe Brookes is as stubborn as him but i guess ultimately bird is team owner .
Brookes said that the team are telling him that Iddon’s fine so he just needs to go quicker. Shane Byrne afterwards said that he’s spoken to the team and they’re saying they’ve tried everything to get him up to speed but nothings worked.
Byrne obviously won’t repeat everything but he said he’s surprised Brooke’s is still in the team. Sounds pretty tense.

And their commentary team and presenters are really good, even if I did record it so I could watch a bit later and skip the adverts!
It was interesting to see a few more road racers than just Hicky on track, and in some cases going pretty well. Although I thought there might have been a few more.
Dream weekend for Jason O'Halloran and a solid result for Glenn Irwin in the last race after his scary crash.
But I just can't understand what is going wrong with Brookes, especially when Christian Iddon is getting some results.
I can't help thinking that when Shakey said he was surprised Brookes was still there might be a "premonition" with maybe some insider info. How many more times will he ride for PBM?

You don't win the BSB championship 4 out of the last 5 years (probably would've been 5 if Shakey hadn't smashed himself up at the Snetterton test) by being a nice guy
Paul Bird may be a tough character, but he knows how to win
TBH it's not the tough character bit that I'd be put off by, but more the things outside the BSB team that wouldn't sit well. I wouldn't respect or trust him.Paul Bird may be a tough character, but he knows how to win
(I do appreciate he's unlikely to ask me to dust off my 20yr old leathers and wobble round as JB's replacement of course.)

Actually, back on the core subject of Brookes' performance this year, didn't he have a really bad start to one of his years at Yamaha, even though he'd won his first champion with them only a year (or 2?) before?
A bad start in 2017. He didn't really get going until round 7 or 8 but that was quite different as he'd won the title in 2015 then gone to WSB for a horrible season on a BMW before returning for 2017.
