What a day!?!...

Good to finally get the season kicked off but it’s been a funny old day.
It started really well...

In the first practice session I got dialled in fairly quickly [had a bit of a tantrum getting the onboard lap timer set-up/working] and ended up lapping consistently faster than last year & feeling like I wasn’t putting on the line to do it. P2 in the cup by a couple of tenths, and 16th overall. So all good.

Unfortunately after about four laps of the second session I had a mechanical problem with the bike which cut out – and even worse poor old Ian Lowry ran into the back of me whilst I was still doing just over 100mph!!

Once I got back to the pits I went to check he was ok – He was still in the medical centre- apparently he’s on crutches and I feel for the guy [and his mechanics as his bike ended up in 2 pieces. But there was nothing I could do.

Needless to say we missed the rest of the second session and all of the third session having a broken engine and a bent swing arm!

And now....? We’re trying to get things together for official practice tomorrow – a late night for the team me thinks.

Fingers crossed eh?
