Who do you want to win BSB? SPOILER
 
Tough decision here, would love to see Ducati take it and prove all the doubters wrong that the V twins are finished, trouble is it would be a Spaniard that takes it as Leon is too far behind now.

Definately don't want to see a Jap on a H***a take the title, and the only Brit with a chance is Rutter and he's also on a H***a! I also don't think he can take the pressure when it comes down to the wire.

Would naturally love to see JR take it, but his injury has screwed his season entirely. That said he showed he could mix it with the big boys at Oulton, so maybe next year?

Really just leaves the choice Ducati or H***a, and given that I dislike all things Japanese (well bikes anyway (-: ) it's gonna have to be the Lavatory on the Duke that will be getting my cheers this afternoon - with a little bit left for me mate.

Show em JR! :sing:

Edited to add the word SPOILER

That about sums it up really John. I watched the brief interview with Lavilla at Cadwell on the starting grid and he came over as very arrogant and dismissive (of Cadwell). I would like to see Ducati win though regardless, but I was rooting for Haslam at Cadwell.

Rattler 25-Sep-2005 10:58

I'd like to see Lavilla win the title (Ducati of course), but with Haslam showing his best form with a couple of wins before the end of the season.

This'll see the in confident mood before they hit WSB next year.

I want to see Lavilla take it because he's shown the most heart and he's on the Ducati.

:D

macey46 25-Sep-2005 12:31

I agree, it has to be Lavilla! He's always come across as a top bloke to me, a win each for him and Leon would be nice! Fingers crossed Dunlop have got good tyres for them. Can't believe it isn't on live today, going to have to wait until 5 o clock to see what happens.:(

domski 25-Sep-2005 12:56

Lavilla for sure, and it's got nothing to do with it being a Ducati for me.

He's the only rider to come here and put in a serious challenge on the title at his first attempt.

He's got better and better all season, he's been the most consistent rider in BSB this year, and no doubt he's helped the Ducati team to improve, and Leon has a lot to thank him for too.

Haslam & Hayden would have been nowhere in my opinion.

Greg's on pole at a circuit where everyone said the Michelins would rule - they're in 3rd & 4th!

Stick it up em Greg :D

I was a doubter at the beginning of the season. Really thought Duke were in trouble with the fours. But what a year, BSB,WSB now MGP with loriss out japing the jap’s In Japan what a star.

Greg's the man, great to watch every time out the box.
:)

I'd be interested to know how much Lavillas bikes costs compared to Rutters. The V twins are free as regards engine modes while the fours are restricted as to what they can do. Both Ducati's were on the rev limiter the whole time today.

Well i have to say Lavilla was absolutely awesome, in control and blew the Hondas away.

Fantastic pair of races, and he looked totally in a different class! Good on him! 999's dead........its only just begun!

Luckily I didn't look at this thread earlier. The racing has only just finished on TV!!

Did everyone catch it?

Dibble 25-Sep-2005 21:29

I want Kiyonari to win, he reminds me of an early "Haga" ....

Ian 25-Sep-2005 21:56

the Lav man for me. - Made my mind up when I saw him at Thruxton, the guy has guts, - and is a class above the rest of the field.
Looks like he gets a WSBk ride on a Ducati next year then? Is that JT's ride or Laconni's?

So the stolen Michelin tyre that came out of the Honda truck went to Dunlop then? - And then onto the MotoGP Bridgestone team?

I had to put up with you telling me who was on pole, before i got there to see!
I also didnt start to read a thread started today, race day, about "who do you want to win BSB" before i saw the race!:D

ericthered40 25-Sep-2005 22:00

The marshals earned their money at the old hairpin today, one came very close to being Kawasakied :o

Greg's on the monney :)

Ian 25-Sep-2005 22:00

just added spoiler to the thread title, - I opened up my e-mail and got to see the press release from the Airwaves team before it was on TV, - looks like the team are quite happy!

Almost a fair point :P

Not quite the same as saying who won, but I'll give you that ;)

:D

andyb 25-Sep-2005 22:24

They said all the top Ducati Brass were at Donington today,............put that on your cv Greg!

The Hondas were squirming all over the entry/ exit of redgate
and it was supposed to be a Michelin day??? Both Ducs looked impecable, i wish i could get mine to have the stability displayed.:(

In bloody jerez for 4 day track day for the last round! cuh.........

domski 25-Sep-2005 22:33

It's the final DD meeting at Cadders too, so loads of us will miss it.

I wonder if I can make it away without knowing that Greg wins :puzzled: :D

Henners 25-Sep-2005 23:49

Big up to GSE
 
.. what a team :D what a manager in Colin Wright

To come back to racing after a year away, on the unfancied 999 F04 and take the BSB title (baring some cruel act of fate) from the almight Honda - absolute quality :lol:
