Bloody good day out. Didn't actually see that much, but that's what video is for...
I think we may be reaching the point where the performance of the superbikes is too much for the circuits. Lower-powered machinery allows more of the rider's skill to shine through, I reckon. You should see the racers in the Virgin Mobile Cup, all riding identical spec R6s. Bloody loonies! Probably. Just as well GSE are going to WSB next year, they're only hanging on in BSB because of sponsorship commitments. Ducati can't possibly argue they need another 200cc the way they are going in BSB. Also I just want to point out that the Ducatis sound utterly fucking gorgeous as they roar past, an octave or so lower than the screaming fours...

The superstocks were lapping within 3 seconds of the BSB bikes and they're in nowhere near the same state of tune but they don't have the same tyre back up which showed as they started to fall off for no apparent reason near the end. Good racing though.

Not entirely: " Due to revised guidelines issued by Dorna, the commercial rights holders of the British Superbike Championship, our images taken at the various 2006 rounds can only be provided to media organisations and publications.

Try emailing him and asking. Just because they're not on his website doesn't mean he doesn't have anyway pictures. Also, he's just been given the cover shot on next month's Motorcycle Racer, so he's well chuffed!
