    What a move by Irwin! All in all looks like a racing incident, but he got penalized massively.



    Im very surprised to see Honda dominating BSB but sucking big time in WSBK. Looks like electronics to blame ?

    I thought it was to agressive looked like brooks didn't know he was there or would sit up lucky he was not very badly injured.....I'm all for bar to bar action but that was a bit much.....great to see The new bike up the sharp end great start

    My first thought was that it was just about Irwin's fault bu then I wasn't so certain, however the decider for me was from JW and JH who whilst being diplomatic about it both basically said that Irwin was at fault.

    It's going to be an interesting season and if the Honda boys are going to keep playing argy bargey it will one to watch seeing how the other riders are already replying in kind!

    Totally gobsmacked by Honda's performance though, never expected it to be that competitive from the get-go, mind you they have chosen the fastest colour this time ;):D

    Irwin has been disqualified from the last race, and also got 6 penalty points so will be at the back of the starting grid for the next race as he has too many points totted up.

    I think it’s them making a point and to give him something to think about before something more serious happens as he commented that if it wasn’t his brother he would have put them on the grass in the first race.

    So Andrew Irwin got another penalty, justifiably I think. I love watching racers and some of his overtakes are fantastic but he needs to calm down just a tad.

    Anyone else notice the ITV Sport logo on the Podium backing this weekend? Hopefully it's just because they are showing highlights etc and not going to do the disaster like they did with League Football back in the days of ITV Digital

    Not sure what tonight's decision has got to do with outdoor sports but this is the outcome for the opening round at Oulton Park. Also not clear what it means for people who have already bought tickets......it just says taken tickets off sale so presume its to prevent more people attending. I hope if you've bought one you can go. Glad I didnt as got let down for last years September round. Very disappointing :(
