But 2 questions;

1. Why is James Cracknell host?

2. Who is that woman doing the pit lane chat??? "Look at the back of the grid.........." No love, I'd rather look at James Toseland who is sitting right in front of the camera who you obv don't recognise.

D'oh.

At least they've finally got two good commentators (Jack Burnacle and Jim Whitham)

Also I think James and Jane have met

She does a lot a of the bike reviews on MSN I think.

She's no Suzy Perry, but then again she's not been doing it long.

I actually like her, very attractive too !

Wow! What a great day yesterday. Me and Maria sat in the grandstand at paddock hill, I havnt been a granstand attendee before, and the veiw from there was awesome! We got some fairly good pics (considering the camera) which I'll put up later.

Feel really frustrated for Stalker - that GSXR1000 was sliding around horribly coming out of paddock, you could see how much time he was loosing with the rear spinning up. Those hondas, by comparison, seem to have excellent traction off the corners.

My "Rider of the Day" has to be Leon Camier. Anyone who even considers going round the outside of another rider at clearways is brave, but to have a go at walker (who made that suzuki very wide) on the outside of clearways is just plain crazy. Coupled to the fact it was his first major event on a superbike (i beleive he did the 8 hour at suzuka?), he did exceptionaly well.

Jonny "stormy" rae on the H&M honda was also brilliant. I think this seasons BSB is the most competetive for years.

Seems dunlop had alot of problems yesterday thought, leon haslam also fell victim to rear traction issues...

Matt

Yeah, It was a brilliant day! I met Jelster and his friend (his name's just slipped my sieve of a mind) at Westfield corner and asked a number of couples dressed in alpinestars gear if they were Matt and Maria but gave up after the 10th couple said no.
I have a few pics to post up later.
I did manage to catch the sky broadcast last night but missed the ITV show...pity about that I'm looking forward to Thruxton...that #36 Duc always goes very quickly down in 'ampshire

well, at least one dunlop-shod rider had quite a good day

Haha Jdub! Next time we'll arrange a meet-up! I'm thinking of going to mallory later in the season, but I'll definatly be at brands WSBK and next brands BSB meet towards the end of the season. Its so good having a bike now, I can go to BSB without needing my old man to take me.

I would go to thruxton but I dont have the time, but I went years ago and it was a bloody good day out (haydon won in the clarion suzuki that time out in a race). My money is on the Honda's swallowing up the dukes C'mon Stormy Rae!!!!
