BSB 2009

[Alec]

British Superbikes starts with the first race tomorrow (13th April) at Brands Hatch.

The whole meeting is LIVE on British Eurosport 2 from 12:30pm until 17:15pm.

Dex should be pleased as one of his favourite riders, Sylvain Guintoli, is making his debut for the 'Worx Crescent Suzuki' team and has put it on pole. 

Unfortunately 'Team Maxxis Adept Yamaha', which a friend on mine is Team Manager of, is down in 20th. 

They've changed over from Honda to Yamaha this year, which their rider Aussie David Johnson prefers, so hopefully they'll improve on past performance.

Yep everything about Sylvain is British apart from his Nationality lol.

Big-Up for James Ellison on a WSBK (first time he has ridden any bike this year) spec Yamaha, i am in Oxford tomorrow, but shall find some way of seeing it on Eurosport or Motors.
