I was 5th in class and 9th overall and I’m really happy. Conditions were
drying all afternoon and it was a tough choice between wet or dry tyres. I
went with wets, along with the majority of the grid, but nearly all the
track was dry. Luckily, the few wet patches evened things out. I quickly
passed a few riders on dry tyres and then started reeling in some others on
wets. For some reason I seem to do quite well in these intermediate
conditions. With a couple of laps to go I saw Chris Barnes in the distance
and thought that at least he wouldn’t pull too many points on me for being
just one place ahead. I kept pushing and caught and passed him on the last
lap. Happily, another superstock bike got by him too, so the points gap
between us has increased slightly.
Also, a massive well done to my friend Sam for third in the RRV450 race. He
was right with the two leaders for the whole race and miles ahead of fourth.
It was a stellar ride that marks him as a top contender for next year.
All in all, a great weekeknd.

What a race! I was 6th superstock and 12th overall from 21st on the grid,
and I beat Chris Barnes too!
I made lots of changes to the set-up before morning warm-up and the bike was
loads better, with the stability needed to use all the power. In the race I
got a decent start and then began picking people off. Just to be able to do
that made the race a lot of fun and when I caught up a group including
Barnes I had to smile to myself. My best lap was a lot closer to the leaders
too.
Now I need to do the same in the second race as it’s worth double points.

I have been on Ron’s Premier package twice in recent years – and can’t begin to tell you how much fun it is and how much you can learn. (continue reading…)

Despite the bad luck of breaking down at Pembrey, missing all the races
there and having to ride the streetfighter at Brands, I’m still fifth in the
points standings but by just two points. That’s worth fighting for so I’ll
be going all out at the last two rounds to keep that place.
Results, photos and the latest points standings are all on my website now.
There’ll be more pics next week too.
