Following the dramatic finale of the 2006 Bennetts British Superbike
Championship last weekend, the organisers of the International
Motorcycle and Scooter Show (27th October – 5th November) are
delighted to announce that the 2006 Bennetts BSB Awards will be held

big screen and in the presence of the top BSB riders including 2006
Champion Ryuichi Kiyonari who will receive their awards live on the
Blackhorse Stage in the Arai Race Paddock.
The Awards ceremony will be hosted by Bennetts BSB event commentators
Fred Clarke and Larry Carter together with entertaining insight from
ex-rider turned TV pundit James Whitham. Fans will get the chance to
get up close and personal with their BSB heros, following the
incident-packed final round at Brands Hatch on Sunday 1st October in

treated to a lively awards ceremony during which they will be able to
watch their BSB heroes such as 2006 Champion Kiyonari, Leon Haslam
Gregorio Lavilla, Supersport Champion, Cal Crutchlow, 125 winner Dan
Cooper and many more receive their well-earned awards.
In addition, the ceremony will also see the presentation of the MCN
Pride of Biking award, voted for by MCN readers in celebration of the
heroes of Britain ’s biking community. The Pride of Biking winner will
receive a pair of VIP tickets to the BSB Race of their choice next
season. The BSB themed event also features the unique Bennetts Awards
to discover The Riders’ Rider of the Year and The Fans Rider of the
Year as well as the launch of the 2006 Official BSB season review DVD
and book and the 2007 calendar. A number of exciting announcements are

Championship.
