Heard rumour at the final round of BSB that he was off to ride a different bike but wouldn't say where only that the contract was in the final stages of being finalised he did say he was doing the road racing again next year so maybe Honda Legends team?
So who has lost their seat at Yamaha, Tommy Bridewell by any chance? Can't see the R1 being any better than the Gixer on the roads and certainly never a Blade beater??
Interesting choice for him given that the R1 gets beaten up by the other bikes in BSB now. On the flip side of the coin that means he will be teamed up with Hutchy for the road races right?
I wonder if Josh got fed up of being the bridesmaid and wants a fresh start on a different machine to see if he can finally clinch the title. I heard a rumour that a worlds team had offered him a seat possibly Pata Honda as rumour has it Johnny Rea is off to MotoGP on one of the Honda's next season.
I think this !! Think he probably is. J Rea has signed for WSB for another year mind you and should be a good contender now with the engine rules meaning that Aprilia cant fire a new engine in as often as they do tyres
I like Josh Brookes - he's come a long way since his reckless early years. His TT debut shows that he has real talent, so would love to see him continue racing in BSB at the sharp-end. Hopefully the Yamaha is good enough to let him do that. Was a shock to hear that Hopper is back! I thought he'd had enough when he lost out to Tommy Hill in 2011.
Surprised josh has left to go there. Thought if anything it would be lowes or farmers ride. Poor bride well will he ever get a break. Will rea ever get there they keep tellin him so we understand but is he at the back of their list
Surprised they, Tyco wud get rid of him as he was the only ( imo ) guy to give Byrne n Lowes a run for their money, winning all 3 races at Brands takes um doing!! Maybe a career in road racing as he did exceptionally well TT THIS YR!!
I'm sure josh is riding for Paul bird Motorsport next season , in BSB Cause bird is also doing a few road races and the TT .... Next year ...
Yeah you could be right but in a interview bird said new rider , different colours And we are doing a few road races and the TT , I'm just guessing mate , like the rest of us , but i would like to see brooks on one .
Know what you mean dude would be good to see Josh get a fast seat....dare I say it Samsung Honda? Isn't Sam Lowes off to ride for PBM in MotoGP next season? I know Sam is off to Moto2 so I guess it would make sense for Alex...
I'd like to see brokes on that too,oh yea I heard pb saying about the roads something different when he was interviewed . Shame Eastern s so small I'd say that holds him back on a thou ? Sayin that pedrosa
I was talking to Shakey (whilst shopping) before Brands final.He said he wants to do WSB.Moto gp is not what he wants, he wants competitive bike.Byrne to Kawasaki,Ducati or Aprillia I reckon. Eurosport guy kept trying to get out of him where he is going.
Interesting think he would do well in WSB would love to see him stomp all over Melandri (God I hate that guy) definitely building up to be an off season full of speculation. Any ideas of where Kiyo is going? Also have to say it was epic to see Nitro Nori back for a couple of races.
Think kiyo has lost the honda ride really. Where's tommy b goin? Be good to see shakey as Sykes team mate , lowes riding a pata Honda lol
