I was there and it was an amazing day and an even more amazing last lap. Both rider have made this season the best in a long time

He was gracious and all smiles on the podium afterwards. Don't ask someone who has just lost out by a ridiculously small margin after a year of hard work how hes feeling FFS!

BSS and BSB along with Moto2 has provided the best entertainment all year for me :cool: WSB and Moto GP can go :smt098

A great year in BSB, definately my favourite series, made it to the opening round of Brands, the Saturday race in August (couldn't make the Sunday) and all this weekend too - great! :smt003 The weekend tickets are great value for money. I might try and get to Silverstone and Cadwell next year.

Agreed. Watched the highlights when I got in and I've never heard Jack Burnicle and James Whitham screaming on a last lap so much!

Would like to see Tony Carter let the riders get their helmets off before an interview next season. :razz:

I'm surprised Hopper didn't lamp Tony Carter shoving the mic in like that what a c0ck.

Without doubt, the best Championship this season and probably last too. I think we've seen a depth in the quality of rider this season that we havent seen since 2008 before all the WSB boys took off. I reckon next year will be even better than this year, but maybe less dramatic. An absolutely epic final lap which to be honest, will rank with THE very best across any level of sport.

If this had been a film, we would have said it was too far fetched. Tremendous racing, and listening to Eurosport commentary, Jack and James provided a great soundtrack to that final lap through all their excitement.

Poor guy was nearly in tears and some Ginger idiot wants him to talk about it.

If you want to start commenting on people think about the eventual winners comments after the first race. His comments about the team mate of the looser we're truly terrible and whats more WRONG!

Yup, Hopper having to swich off and restart his bike to get 12th, then only 2 points between them for the final race - couldn't believe it. Listening to Radio Brands in the GP section and I heard he was out initially!!

Yup, thought interview comments about Kirkham were unnecessary.

Oh I'm not so sure, they added to the drama and you have to be pretty naive to think Kirkham wouldn't have had instructions to get stuck into Tommy if given half the chance.
If they had really wanted to play dirty think of the chances Laverty had to stuff Hopper in the last race, would have been so easy just to run up the inside of him and take you both wide for a moment. The real cynic in me was expecting Brooks to do Tommy for Suzuki......just as well he never got close enough....

I was gobsmacked, the moves Hill and Hopper made on the last lap was just phenomenally brave. Totally ballsy and skillful. Sport at it's best. Personally I kike it when sportsman speak their mind. Much better than all the bland blah blag that goes on.

I also felt sorry for Ben Willson in the BSS, his Kawasaki seemed to be bucking and weaving like a mad bronco going into all the corners. He was so gutted at the end but just managed to hold himself together.

Hats off to them all, fantastic!

That boy rides about like that every week. Weirdest style I have seen in a while. I'm always waiting for a big crash watching him on the edge of my seat.
Delighted for wee Seeley though. Top boy.

Can't begrudge Tommy Hill either after last year or those moves. Thought Hopkins done well not to kick the shoite outta his dicky Suzuki though. Thourough pro destined for greater things....(again!)

Great season.=D>
