Blimey - I\'ve come over all nervous like...

I've been calm all through till now - I've just been loading the car and for some odd reason i've started shaking

I do hope i'm not the only one feeling nervous right now ?

Must admit, I was fine when I went to bed last night but woke this morning with butterflies, seems to be getting progressively worse regardless of what I do!! Eeek.

Funnily enough my mind is pretty calm but my body's getting a bit nervous, probably knows what's coming!

Cheers,

Ali

It's gonna be really really scary on that grid Lin... adrenalin will be coarsing through everyone's veins, we'll all want to be first into that really tight turn 1... you will have NO friends when the red light goes out... the guy behind you wants your arse on a plate as does the dude who's alongside you taking your brake lever off just before the braking zone...

But don't worry, it'll only last for 10 minutes (x5)!

Hey, relax, it'll be fun.

different in the MotoX as you all start touching bars in one long straight line, so there was no chance of anyone beingg ploughed into from behind....

Fully symathise with nerves....

Even thought I was never going to be competative, no matter how many runs and mountain bike races I did, I was ALWAYS nervous, until the flag dropped.

If you don't get nervous, I think it might be time to stop.

Best of luck to everyone - see you all on Sunday.

Looks like we might have to wait for Andy, as he has the tickets - he is aiming to arrive about 2.30/3ish.
