I think Lee Jackson will go well looking forward to hearing the MV on full chat Honda may be a surprise on the shorter tracks.
I can't wait to see what Danny Buchan does on a full blown super bike after what he did in super stock 1000s this year. You can guarantee that he'll make the showdown and I can see him top 3 at the end of the year.
Cox & Johnson on Morello zx10r's. Both moving up from super stock 1000s http://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/morello-racing-sign-cox-and-johnson-for-2015-mce-bsb-campaign.aspx
Iv found BSB a little bit stale recently. BSB really needs a new rider who can run with the big boys and can comfortably take it to Shane, week in, week out.... Until that happens, it's Shanes to loose untill he retires. Just my thoughts... I'm sure others will disagree. over the last season or so, iv found club racing more interesting than the national stuff
I think next season will be excellent. Kiyo back on form. Danny Buchan stepping back into BSB after his uber domination of super stock 1000. New R1 with Brooks on to throw the cat amongst the pigeons. Shakey just being the awesome rider he is.
Oh - club level Endurance will be where it is though with: Team Army Endurance Racing having 4 teams, 2x clubman 1000, 1x national 600 & 1x rookie/clubman 600. Wedgie Tyke Racing competing on CBR1000RRs in clubman 1000. There might be a few TT winners, BSB, Superstock, super sport riders making and appearance also but meh!
Danny is a good rider. He'll do well, but not expecting loads in his first full year in Suoerbikes. Riding a SSTK1000 is completly different to riding a Suoerbike. Next year will be a learning year. 2016 will be the year to watch him. allthough the new R1 is unproven, I have a feeling Brookes will be one to look out for. However, once again it'll be a Shakeys to loose.. SSTK1000 has been the one to watch over the last few years. Loads of youngsters wanting to make a name for them selfs. Always good close racing. Had a few mates race in that class over the years too, which is always cool
