Looks like my son's dream of racing in British Superbikes might be about to come true.
This morning he has had TWO phone calls from two different teams who would like to test him for next season. Both are established teams with proven results.
Obviously he has to do well on the test days first, but if all goes well, he will actually have a choice of who to ride for next season. I'm sooooo pleased for him, I just had to tell someone. Sorry!

Wow Bridge, that's fantastic!
Could you do me a wee favour? Could you pm me his name and the team he chooses? (That's great - having a choice!!) I follow the BSBs as closely as I can, and it'd be great if I could support someone I "know"!!
Thanks.

Well done Bridge's son! I remember you posted a pic of him on here a while ago, he's a good looking lad to boot! You must be very proud of him.

Thanks JennyB. I certainly am proud. Here's a photo of him taken at Brands Hatch earlier this year (No. 99). He is just in front of a BSB rider who was using this race as practice for the BSB meeting the following weekend. They have since become quite good friends.  |

Thanks Sophie.
Both tests have now taken place and I'm pleased to report that BOTH teams still want him. In fact, he has since had another offer too, so he can take his pick now.
During one of the test days there was only one other rider faster than Jay and he is quite a well known Superbike rider (only I can't remember his name. lol), so the team were very impressed.
Trouble is.... which one does he go for? Ooooh, it's a hard decision and one that must be made in the next week or so.
I'll let you know.
