New bike unveiled in two days!
25 Feb 2010
My new bike is almost complete and I’ll reveal it this weekend. The bodywork has been painted by S&B Automotive Academy and it looks fantastic. This weekend will be my first chance to get pics of it in daylight so I’ll post a few then. After that I’ll explain the choice of bike and parts, […]
Another teaser
08 Feb 2010
Here’s another big hint about my new bike for this year. Anyone care to have a guess?
Teaming up with White Dalton again in 2010
28 Jan 2010
It’s with great pleasure and excitement that I can announce White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors will be continuing to sponsor me in the Streetfighter A class through the 2010 season.
2010 race calendar confirmed
12 Jan 2010
The final calendar for the 2010 ThundersportGB season has been confirmed, with a few changes from the club’s first two years.
Big news coming soon!
05 Jan 2010
Happy New Year everyone. May you prosper and enjoy all the success that you wish for… Unless you’re racing against me in the Streetfighter A class at ThundersportGB that is, in which case you’ll understand if I cap that at second place! The 2010 season is now only ten weeks away and preparations are in […]
Thundersport on TV tonight!
02 Nov 2009
Don’t forget to tune into MotorsTV (Sky413) tonight at 7pm for the final round of the year from Rockingham. Don’t be late, because the Streetfighter class is up first! Draw the blinds, put the cat out and take the phone off the hook – this is racing to savour. Wilko
Rockingham race three
18 Oct 2009
Erm, I won. By 15 seconds. My start was ok and I was third on the first lap, second by the end of it and in the lead on the third lap. After that I got my head down and pushed for a couple of laps, scoring a new record of 1m14.2s on the way. […]
Last race of the season
What a weekend. I won the last race by 9.5 seconds to complete a clean sweep. That’s four wins, pole, and another new lap record of 1m14.3s. It’s such a buzz and I’m really happy. The Streetfighter B championship went right to the wire. Craig Morley and Barry Utting were tied on points at the […]
Pole dancing!
17 Oct 2009
Pole position that is. I’m top of the time sheets by a massive 1.4s. I knew I’d put some good laps together when I had clear track, but I didn’t expect that size advantage. Lining up with me on the front row will be Craig Morley in second and leading the B class. Then comes […]
Race one
This feels so good to write – I won. That’s the first win since July for various reasons, and it was by 8.5 seconds. I got a poor start and slipped to fourth, but passed Smith and Denyer on the first lap and Morley at the start of the second. After that I put my […]
Race two
Ta-da. I won race two. My start wasn’t ideal again and I was third for the first couple of laps, but once past Keith Smith I reeled in Denyer and overtook into the hairpin a lap later. There were a couple of close calls with backmarkers, especially Mark Lumb who changed line on his Ducati […]
Practice day
16 Oct 2009
It was so good to be back on the Tuono today. It felt brilliant, and by the second session when the track was fully dry I was right in the groove. Someone timed Andy Denyer at a best of 1m17.9s, which makes my best of 1m16.9s really encouraging. We’ll both go faster in qualifying tomorrow […]
Rockingham preview
13 Oct 2009
The season reaches its finale this weekend at Rockingham Motor Speedway. It feels like it’s gone by so fast, so this will be a round to savour ahead of the long winter. The championship may be gone, but my second overall is far from secure after two rounds without the mighty Tuono under me. Chris […]
Date correction!
08 Oct 2009
The final round of the season is not this weekend, it is the one after. I’ve just realised that my website contains an older version of the calendar and it’s showing the wrong date. Sorry for any confusion. This feels like a lucky escape from the unspeakable embarrassment of arriving at a circuit that’s empty […]
New photos and results added
21 Sep 2009
Hi. Quick blog to say that I’ve added the first few images from Anglesey and the results page is now up to date with full downloadable PDFs. Also, congratulations to Mick Riddle on entering the top five overall following a great run of results. You can see him and his green Kawasaki chasing me in […]
ThundersportGB on tv
14 Sep 2009
The Brands Hatch round is on MotorsTV (Sky413) at 7pm tonight, with repeats through the week. There was great racing in every class, so don’t miss it! Wilko
Sunday race one
13 Sep 2009
I’m not sure what’s more incredible, the beautiful sunshine for the third day in a row in north west Wales or the podium I just scored on a Honda FireStorm. It came at the expense of bad fortune for Keith Smith, who highsided out of second place, but unhurt. Matthews took second, denied the win […]
