    Maz ! You do realise your cakes will be blamed for any slow laps. And if cakes are not provided a week on Friday they will have something to bench mark against :D

    Ps they won't mention the breakfast they scoffed before the start of proceedings but there is photo evidence for your defence :D

    Only just finished!! What a long and knackering day that was! Up at 4.55am, long hard day mentally and physically. 2 hours to get home due to traffic, detour to pick my dog up, unload my van and re-load with work stuff, so just about done by 9.30pm!
    Good day though! Bit dodgy this morning but once it started drying my intermediates felt great! The bike ran very well after having some engine work done to it......found myself doing the overtaking on the straights instead of the other way round!
    New SBS Dual Carbon pads were exceptional!
    Today definitely was a testing day and I was happy to see everyone treating it as such, really wasn't worth it to break any records due to the conditions.

    Matt did very well although he really was a puff in the wet this morning! Once the sun came out his balls must have swelled 'cos his riding really came on!

    Poor Al! Second time he's been taken out by someone else!! :eek: He's gonna be a bit sore in the morning.

    So....I have some film footage that I haven't yet watched. It will show myself passing Jase!....but very soon being passed back and not really seeing him again! :( Myself passing Matt a few times and he passing me back also.
    Myself passing Andy and possibly just skimming his leathers!! :eek:.......And finally, I didn't see Jay all day!!! :D :D

    Cheers to Barney once again.

    As soon as I've sorted the filming I'll post some up. :)

    editing complete - its a very rough cut as a bit shattered lol - give it 5 mins to upload

    Not saying a good idea to have your iphone in your leathers but an opportunity none the less!

    Poor old Trigger, been through some epically good times and now a low point - but you still got me home safe and sound and live on

    I love you al.... I really do. Only you would get those crash photos whilst the dude is still floored - awesome work.

    Glad you and the bike are ok (ish)

    Here you go,


    https://vimeo.com/119998303

    I know when you watch it back everyone will say:

    You could have swerved to the left
    You could have braked in time
    You could have gunned it to lift the front wheel and jumped him like a boss
    Backed it in past him to the right

    Shame GoPro was not running in 60fps but its good enough to catch what happened

    Should've gone right and run him over instead ;)

    Nothing you could have done there. Glad you and the bike are ok, that's the main thing mate.

    Rest of the riders seemed to be taking it pretty casual but he decided to be the hero.
