I come back and watch this every couple months

"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.

Nine years later, and those two laps remain timeless

f1 fans: " OMG Hamilton-Massa was the closest title decider ever!" BSB: "Hold my beer." 😜

one of the best lines ever. "I'll tell you what. This is bloke's racing this."

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.

I'm a nascar fan but that was the greatest racing I've ever seen

What a race. Remember watching this live. I'll remember this for the rest of my life.

WOOOOW those guys are pushing those bikes to the limit. This is what i call real racing.

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 come back to watch this every time I need a bit of excitement - it’s amazing

I was there on the day, all these years later....... Still gets me on my feet... Stunning racing lads, there were no loosers in my books!

Still the best BSB race I have ever seen and Jack and James made it even better with their commentary. This is why I think BSB is the best class.

I dont know how many times I've seen this but it's still the best last lap of any race ever. Gret commentary too

That was a level of commitment worthy of legend from both rider. Yet others were so close behind. In a word, Inspirational...

First time watching this and made my eyes tear up. Amazing passion and racing

Wow! Doesn’t get better than that. Never heard James and Jack get so excited but rightly so that was incredible.

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 wish more people knew about how incredible this was and is

Nice to see, 100% sportsmanship at the end, teams congratulating the opposant team👍!

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!

one of the greatest single laps in racing history 🤘

I watch this every now and then and it always gives me goosebumps. Reminds me of past races I've been in

Sick battle!! The commentators excitement is hilarious! 4:08

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.

JACK BURNACLE IS A LEGEND,

This race is a great bit of fun to see ! Exciting.

The greatest last lap I’ve ever seen in racing , the commentating between jack and whit makes it even better 🤣🤣

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.

Even though I have watched this race multiple time it still makes me tear up.

Absolutely pushing those bikes to the limit. Wow what racing

This commentary brought tears to my eyes

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.

2023 was good but nothing beats this

The best last lap ever in any form of Racing, watched it live too

BSB at its finest and it still is the best domestic series in the world.

What a battle! Respect to for guys behind them not to mess with them on last lap

Whoow, completly forgot about this stunning finale, thnx for uploading!!

Back to watch again - brilliant.

One of the very best laps in motorsport....along with Rossi V Gibernau

Just amazing.

Here after chasing the racing podcast 😁 what a last couple of laps!

BSB is the best national championship going hope they keep the prestige going into the future. so many international names have ridden in the BSB

What HEROIC racing

Best race I've ever seen.... Amazing race gutted for Hopkins and Crescent Suzuki really wanted them to win.

This is why i love motorbikes. the commitment and fight is second to none !!

Best BSB championship decider ever.

ive never listened to bikes in my life, oh my god, edge of the seat !

If this doesn't make you giggle with joy then you're not human.

How can this have dislikes. This is what its all about. Absolute Quality.

was at work trying to stay in my seat while watching this, great stuff.

Epic battle,dont know why but really wanted to see hopkins win,even the commentators were losing their voices,incredible riding!!!

Jan 2021 and still watching!

BSB circuits are spectacular, and this was racing at its finest!

Now thats racing!!!Awesome stuff :)

I've watched the entire race several times, but these last laps are bike racing at its best ... great stuff on a great track

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.

Was up on surtees that day, a man was playing the radio broadcast nearby, unbelievable scenes

You could b waiting a while before u see a race like that again.awsome

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].

the best last lap ever ! any race , and motorsport race. outstanding!! take a bow Tommy and John 😊

I remember being stood at paddock hill bend watching this unfold incredible drama one of the best ever finished to a championship

I also keep watching this every few months

Holy Crap! Now that is a race!

The absolute best race in motorcycle racing history

Legendary race. Hopper's book 'Leathered' adds an extra dimension to what you see.

23 Dislikes are F1 Fans.

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

Got here by your recommendation from the seeley and Kennedy race. Wicked battle, thanks mate

Absolutely fantastic

This is racing.What a battle,what a battle.

One of the best final laps I’ve seen “this is blokes stuff “

Nothing else will ever come close. This makes the 2008 f1 finale look tame in comparison.

This is one of my favorite videos, an incredible race of the highest caliber

Love the main commentator! Can someone get him to commentate MotoGP races?

I was at this race it was unbelievable atmosphere, fantastic racing👍👍👍😎😎😎

TOMMY Hill.... just fabulous riding. Congrats Man... yer the MAAN in BSB.

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...

Yesss yesss ! Fantastic

I can't comprehend racing at that level towards the end on 1000s on these narrow british tracks.. its insane.

Awesome racing, moments like this are why I love to watch them race.

Goosebumps watching that great racing and great scenes at the end 👍

hopper passed hill into clearways after going thru the damp under the bridge, insane.

God yeah, one of the best finishes ever🏅Amazing!!!!!!

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.

What a race! OMG

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.

Man I love Hopper! I’m gutted for him. What a fantastic race

Staggering racing, just fabulous

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.

One of the best finishes.

Best end to a race, best end to a season, absolutely fuckin awesome.

unreal racing, much respect

Anyone during covid19 and near 2021?

That was pure epic like it real racing nuts to the wind racing good stuff.

Great GREAT move by Tommy Hill on the last corner.

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
