Ha ha, nah I'm done. Was a bloody great couple of races though on a very wet Oulton Park. The rain was dancing down but I love it like that, the bike was squirming all over the place. I had to fight for the second win, I dropped down to 3rd at one point but got the two positions back.

nah, its a great feeling when you trust that the tyres will grip. Thats why I won today, the other guys I was battling with seemed to lose confidence. Turn 1 at Oulton gets a standing puddle right at the apex, the tyres just deal with it but if your confidence goes then you struggle big time. It was a balsy pass, right down the inside into Cascades corner, if you've ever ridden that corner you'll know what I mean, especially in the wet. Anyway, I had faith, let the brakes off and leaned it in. Luckily it stuck
