Scott Redding's continuing and very public meltdown.

What? Post is hours old and we haven't heard from the track knowledge doesn't mean anything to pros contingent? This place is slipping.

 

You mean like this?

“I’m surprised that a guy of Scott’s level feels the need to follow me around,” Brookes smiled.

From reading the comments 40k.

 

Full Throttle Podcast has him on the Shakey Show with Shane this week. Should be a good one.

 

Watching the crash video just reminded me at how so many of the BSB tracks seem way too small. Glorified go-kart tracks at some places.

I like that Brookes called him out. That would be a good fight.

 

Some of these guys in BSB are the same guys who race the TT, NW200 and so forth. BSB track safety is actually great everything considered. No denying the tracks produce some of the best racing on the planet.

 

As pointed out earlier in this thread, Cadwell is narrow, that is one of the reasons I never really liked racing there, it was very easy to run out of track (it always seemed to be cold and wet there as well).

Overall most of the tracks in the UK are shorter than in the US. The majority of the ones used for club racing are on average just under 1.5 miles long. It's not often that the long version of a circuit is used for a club race. BSB use both the short and GP layouts at Brands.

 

I rode at Nelson Ledges pre-repave, racing there as it was wouldn't have been allowed in the UK

 

Oh horsepoop, they would love that place and also Summit.

 

Agree with that!!!

 

Nothing wrong with Summit, the Ledges wouldn't have got an insurance certificate with the state the surface was in. "Not Fit For Purpose" springs to mind.

Wish it was a longer interview. Good stuff though.

 

Off to WSBK next season. That sucks because he is a shot in the arm for BSB and great to watch. I think WSBK could be much more difficult for him.

He still has a legit shot at the BSB title.


Thanks for the new ride mate!

 

How do you even watch BSB? It’s always seemed awesome but I have no idea. I don’t do the file sharing thing because they try to give your computer AIDS.

Scott’s fast, hope he kicks ass in WSBK. It was sad that we lost him in MotoGP when he was one of the few dudes with a personality and who kinda speaks English. Iannone is fun and all, but I think his English is limited to “I wanta fack your poosy” and “Trya my new cologne. Given the track record of the Shitprilia, he’ll be in WSBK with Scott soon too.

I think Bautista is faster than Scott, but I think Redding will do really well too.

 

Quality of the English spoken ranks right below which umbrella girl the racer has, and just above the number of sponsor patches on his suit.

 

i once said to Iannonne: "sweet boat you posted from your vacation on instagram" he looked at me like "che cazzo ???" i thought, never mind, just ride the damn duc and don't crash.

Redding was waaaaay more approachable. he knows he ain't smart, but he's also no arrogant prick and open for a chat , even after a long day that sucked. my buddy Alex in italy makes custom silver rings (silverbone Lucca) and made some rider rings for pramac. him and Redding a re a hoot to watch when they talk...

 

Oh I agree, but I like having Crutchlow, Miller etc. because they give entertaining interviews that I can understand. I’m sure Iannone is a lot of fun in Italian, but I only speaky de English. I only watch for entertainment, having native English speakers increases it for me.
