"BY SIX THOUSANDTHS OF A SECOND!" That was amazing commentary. Non-stop passion, all out emotion, while explaining the moves they both made on that final lap. And the simultaneity of that final statement is the icing on the cake on one of the best battles of motorsport.
I was stoned out my mind one night watching the highlights of this and it was honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I'm now not as stoned and it's still one of the best things I've ever seen
I never tire of watching that last lap, it also makes me chuckle how both Jack and Jamie can't speak properly and then at the end Jamie tries about 8 times to speak over Jack.
Don't know how many times I have watched this but I know I get covered in goosebumps and well up every time. Greatest piece of racing I have ever seen.
Remember watching this live. Was really pulling for Hopper, who overcame his personal demons with alcohol and pills. If he won he would've been one of the biggest turn arounds ever. Sad to see Hopper in 14'-15' unable to even secure a team ride.
I've seen a lot of racing.... and this is quite possibly the best i've ever had the nail biting pleasure to watch! I swear to God i fell off the sofa twice watching this! ;)
I just saw the final laps of this race on British ES2 Best of Bikes: Hill vs. Hopper 2011. I never saw it before and got goosebumps. Amazing close racing, amazing atmosphere and great commentators! We went to lots of races: MotoGP, WSBK and in 2014, 2015 and 2016 to BSB races on Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park and Snetterton. Nothing is comparible with BSB. Great circuits, the hero's are approachable and the races are great. Just go out to watch a race live, you will not regret it!
Been a while since ive seen this, good memories, i was there that day. The commentators sure makes this intense, struggling to get their words out, you just know they're on the edge of their seats.
I remember watching that race live... it was the longest I’ve ever held my breath!!..... those last few laps for me was the definition of super bike racing. No margin for error, absolute 100% limit. 2 wheels perfection.
Best race down the stretch I've seen in all my life as well and ive haven't near by seen as much racing as these 2 announcers. Gzzzzz, i was in my seat here at my home.
I didn't know there is another one who shares this vid(I did long time ago). This is, as a whole package, the best finish in whole motorcycle racing history.
For sheer context of what's at stake, this is the best I've seen. As far as the best race is concerned, that's World Superbikes Hockenheim in the year 2000 [Race 2].
I read this a couple years back and never could find the vid for it until now and holy cow, it was a absolutely fantastic finish.....I wish that we got to see some of the BSB in the USA
MotoGP has the kind of commentators who increase their mouth movement during epic on board footage. 🤦🏻♂️ The BT sport guys go well. Lots of passion in that booth. Heuwen, Emmett, Hodgeson, Laverty, Edwards.. and while not that well spoken, Crafar has such passion, and is a brilliant pit liaison.
I remember Hopkins and that Suzuki racing in Brno as a wild card in SBK. Obtained pole position, but ended 5th in both races. And that Suzuki livrery went stuck in my head for years...
Yh thats a real shame that because lets face it, at the moment BSB has to be the most exciting bike racing series out there. I would like to record the live races and upload them for people in the US and such but I dont know how to do that lol, but yeah glad you enjoyed the video.
Ask any driver other than World Rally & they'll tell you these guys are F*#ng crazy. That was the greatest final lap I've ever seen. Nearly dropped my burger when they 1st rounded Druids w/it's mega G's Tommy was moving more sideways than forwards ! I'm a dyed-in t-wool country course (TT) fan but if track racing ever gets like this again I'll foken watch.
Missed this race due to having to get my car removed from Brands Hatch car park by a recovery vehicle after my then partner had mistakenly thrown away the keys!! Tonight was the first time I've been able to bring myself to watch it.
Laver-teh, Tomm-eh, I am from the North of England but I don't talk like that and it always stands out when watching the Superbike coverage on Eurosport
