Those look like slick tyres.

Couldn't see the TC light flickering on very much, so I suspect he wasn't caning it as much as it seemed, still a bloody sight faster round a track than I'll ever be though.

I think BMW fitted slicks in the afternoon sessions.

The article that Haydon wrote to go with his test in BIKE magazine was a great piece of writing.

Very. He got to almost the same time as the BMW test rider within one session.
It was very much a racer's opinion but one in which i could fully understand what he was talking about it even though i possess none of his riding skills.

To get up to that speed in one session it must be a very easy and forgiving bike to ride quickly and feel confident on.
