Race organiser MSVR has agreed an increased 20 race schedule with the governing body MCRCB, which will include an additional triple-header at Donington on the 24th to 26th of May.

As One Champion Hangs Up His Leathers The Next Champion Is Somewhere In The Pack
It looks increasingly likely that Shane Byrne won’t be on the grid this year as the Be Wiser Ducati team owner Paul Bird decided to part company with the six time champion. It can’t have been an easy decision for Bird because of the team’s history with Shane, but considering the magnitude of the accident during a practice session at Snetterton, which left Byrne with extensive spinal injuries, it isn’t a total surprise that Paul Bird, who isn’t known for his patience, signed Scott Redding and Josh Brooks. However, all hope isn’t lost as it has been reported that Moto Rapido Ducati boss Steve Moore is willing to entertain the idea of working with Shakey. Let’s hope it comes off.
