Well I had a jolly good time at Brands Hatch today, watching British Superbikes and all that goes with it.

Another man who I fancy will have enjoyed his day is Tom Sykes. He certainly looks happy after winning the first BSB race of the day, doesn’t he?

It only got better for him, winning race two as well. He’s not had even a podium in his day job in World Superbikes, this season or last, so to grab a couple of wins on his old home stomping ground must have been nice.

What about the regular BSB riders, though? Having only just got in, I’ve not seen any TV coverage, or read any rider comments. But at least some of them must be a bit frustrated that Sykes just rolled up, took crucial championship points and podium credits, and now toddles back of to World Superbikes.

Ho hum, such is life. At least there were three races this weekend, and Sykes only finished 5th in the first on Saturday.
