I can't imagine how it feels to have your throttle stuck open and knowing you're more than likely to hit the dirt. I'm surprised and relieved his injuries were so slight for the incident he had.
I'm only 5 hours into the race and it's been worth the watch so far the racing is closer than I expected & I'm quite happy that Jimmy Storrars team are still running so high up the order.

It was a strange looking crash, initially I thought he'd managed to lose the front and regain but then went wide, almost like target fixation.
But I guess a stuck throttle explains a lot!! Shame, hope to catch the highlights of the race at some point. |

I wimped out on sunday and FF'd a coupla hours in total. Lots of pause and rewind for the carnage (every quarter of an hour!) though.
Brilliant spectacle. Roll on the Bol! (Thats on the to do list on the bike not the couch!) |

A wee trip to Paul Ricard sounds good. It's good the Bol has gone 'home'. I've also got three weeks leave left for this year, I may have to start selling body parts.

Not too long to wait.
Good luck with sleeping. But if you're asleep your missing the point lol.
