I'm conflicted about this. I've followed Shakey since his Fast Bikes hooligan days and I'd love to see him win a 5th and put the records out of reach. Brands GP is his circuit.

But Leon Haslam is clearly too fast for BSB and should be in a world championship. I think he's now under-rated and has just never had the right team for long enough to really shine. And it's a long, long time since he won a championship (CB500? Scooters?). He's also an all round nice guy who's hard as nails.

And then, there's going to be some rain. Bad for me camping in the woods, but good for a bit of chaos in the racing.

With a 17 point lead, Shakey * only * needs to be 2nd in each race. But BSB this year is so close, that's too big an ask. He really needs to win a couple and get some fast early laps to be sure.

Go Shakey !!! 🏍🏍🏍🏍

It's slipping away,

Well 15 of the 20 laps were nerve racking.

Shakey! High five!
