Shakey with the Airwaves 1098R on pole (quite convincingly actually)
I think that this is going to be his season to be honest, the Suzuki was a bit of a mare for him when he came back from MotoGP and his little excursions off the track didnt help, he didnt fare much better when he moved over to Stobart Honda either, although in fairness i dont think the Stobart was a match for the HM plant factory support or else i think it would have been different.
So Shakey back to Ducati, a bike he has always liked and got on with especially after winning BSB on one.
Leon Haslam has been quick as expected through testing on the new HM plant blade but i honestly think that Crutchlow on the other HM plant is going to be the one that gives Shakey the biggest run for his money ;)
Dont rule out Karl Harris either, that McElnea R1 seems to be a bike he is suited and he was going well at Brands GP if the times are anything to go by :)
Should be some good racing tomorrow with the unpredictable weather ;)
If it rains then i expect Haslam to be right at the front with Rutter who wasnt far off the pace and Shakey somewhere about them.
If its dry i can see it being
Shakey
Haslam
Crutchlow
Sykes
Harris
Camier
I wonder how much that would be worth if i had money on that and it came in! :D
