So who does everyone think will be Champion this year?
Not who you want to be champion but who will actually win the title

I’m putting my money on Ryde, might only be 4 points between him and TB but he has the momentum right now and Irwin is too far back to make a serious challenge for me.

If it's dry throughout the weekend then Ryde. If it's wet or sketchy then Bridewell.

Looks dry but really cold.

I honestly think Bridewell will take it.

Depends on which Kyle Ryde turns up.
The one who completely dominates.
Or the one mired in the midfield.

This has been the closest he's been and i think he just has the right mindset this year and with ray returning next season, it's now or never for him.
I'd love to see TB retain it but i can't see him beating Ryde and i think Irwin is just too far back, despite me saying it was his title to lose but you never know, weirder things have happened in the past.

I looked yesterday and it was shower sat afternoon which could really mess things up .

Check your recordings as sbk is bouncing the bsb coverage around e2 etc…

As for a winner , I think I’ll be happy with Tommy or Kyle tbh.

Cannot warm to Glenn at all.

I have long thought Kyle had the ability, but
Now he has the belief…

Definitely has the ability, like you said though, he just needed to believe and unless he has an absolute shocker/ Bridewell has a blinder or indeed Irwin, then for me it is his title this year.

And it needs to be because with Ray returning next year, he will be under massive pressure snd Ray’s experience at World level will push him that bit further.

It would be hard to dislike any of the BSB riders, although we all have our preferences.

Whilst I’d like TB to retain his title, I’d still be delighted for Kyle. I think Kyle based on his recent form must start as the favourite.

I spoke to Glen a few years ago for a few minutes and he’s a really nice humble guy. The other ex BSB rider who was most humorous was Jake Dixon.

I think Ryan Vickers will be at the very sharp end this weekend.

Showers due at 4pm today !

Do you push for the win or just make sure you finish ?

I guess Irwin needs the win ( or Bridewell/Ryde) to crash out.

Ooh yes, rain slap bang on race time, Glenn will approach that like a lunatic and bugger off unto the distance, Kyle will balls it up and Tommy will be top 3.
Should be an interesting Sunday!

As others have said, we all have our favourites but i wouldn't be unhapy if Kyle wins the title. Not really a fan of Glenn Irwin but i don't wish him any ill will etc but would rather TB or KR to win it if i'm honest, mainly because they've done all the hard work to keep the title interesting.
Fair play to Irwin though, he's dragged himself back into an outside chance of the title if the other two drop the ball.

That was a big crash and he is so lucky to be declared fit for the first race. Big mountain to climb for him now but as it stands, it's Ryde's to lose now and if he is Champion this year, then fair play he's worked hard to earn it.

Although i'm a T.B fan it's only because of georapghical reasons .

TB nobody thought he's be in the running this year on a brand new Honda

K.R if he wins fair play

G.I again fair play he's got himself into 3rd position all he needs is one/both of the top 2 to crash and he's proper in the fight .
