[Mr Dendrite]

I thought Rea and Lowes were both confirmed for KRT next year?

I think they are but I was inconveniently busy at work after lunch so I'll start adding in the confirmed a bit later.

Redding firm for VDM team mate, so Sykes out of there....

Factory backed satellite team replacing Folger I’m hearing.

[DarthtaterM16]

Unless I've missed some that's all the confirmed rides in WSB for 2022 so far. Quite a bit of wriggle room there.

[DarthtaterM16]

Updated with the few announcements over the last few weeks.

[LukeBrown66]

Looks like Sykes was in UK sorting out a PBM deal most likely. Maybe Brookes on his way out?

Apparently Paul Bird confirmed Iddon and Brookes remaining with team in '22 in an interview yesterday (which I didn't hear).
I'd be really surprised at Brookes staying but that's what he said.

Wonder who will get Mackenzie's McCAM's ride if he does go to WSB?

[LukeBrown66]

Cant see Chinner coming back unless he gets a title ride, wold be a shame for Jason if Sykes goes Yam but he knows the tracks I guess Sykes also rode the first version f that bike alongside Spies years back. So maybe, can't see where else other than Synetiq BMW to keep the link with them.

Where is Leon Haslam going next year. If he comes back to BSB then he’ll be the man to beat.

Will he be though? Undoubtedly a good rider but would he really come back and wipe the floor with the BSB regulars after a few years away? Not convinced if I'm honest.

It’s one of those questions that could only be answered if he comes back.

Wherever he ends up it will be interesting. Although if it is BSB I can't see him beating riders like TM, JOH, TB and CI that easily.

But he probably needs to ride a different brand - Honda have been pretty hopeless in BSB, WSB and MotoGP, apart from a few stand-out performances by MM.

Looking forward to 2022 already though!

To be fair, he did that when he won the title in whatever year it was and in the previous season when he and Byrne battled for the title. However, i agree with your final comment, can we start 2022 now please

[LukeBrown66]

I would disagree about Honda being hopeless, Honda UK found a sweet spot a few times last year with the Irwin brothers, at times they were unbeatable!!

[poo at Paul's]

I really hope Gino Rea keeps the Buildbase ride he has. He's a great lad, been around longer than many recall, but is a properly quick guy, tries his had at anything, not always had the best luck, but just keeps his head down and gets on with it. HIs Donnington rides in the wet, which as we know, is a bit leveller, showed his ability i reckon. I reckon he could get the Suzook singing next year after a strong end of season.

Lucas Mahias back on the Pucetti bike with Ben Currie on their SS bike.

Apparently Go Eleven are staying with Ducati too.
