It's all over for me..

Well, it looks like I'm not going to be heading to cadwell with the rest of you; money troubles and a bike that requires a [i]lot[i] of tlc have made it simply not viable. Totally gutted.
But on the upside, I've had a fantastic season's racing, had some great battles, and met some all round top folks! Thanks to everyone who helped me out on the ( numerous! ) times the bike needed fixing, I won't name you all, it would take all night!
Anyway I will be racing in class A next year, and I'm looking forward to more of the same ( except for the crashes, of course..)!

That's a shame - after my enforced mid-season break I was looking forward to seeing how far I was off your pace!

Best of luck with the rebuild and at least that will be two of us in Class A next year!

That's a real shame Will, but at least you've secured 3rd in the championship, and you've certainly earned it this year with some great rides. I just think it's a shame you didn't win one, because I think, and I'm sure Andy would agree that you deserved one.

I guess that'll have to wait until next year, but if everything goes as I plan during winter financially, then I shall be doing everything I can to stop you!

Tom, I'm glad to hear that there's at least a possibility you'll be on the grid next year. We need you guys out there and I still think you have alot to give.

Paul will of course be great to have there, if only to watch him racing with backwards facing knees and titanic swollen balls.

OH-NO!!!

You've had a few ups & downs this year Will but I will always remember just how strong you were at Snetterton. You pushed (and in one case, literally) me right to the every edge of my limit and more. Bring-it on next year fella.

I know where theres a good bike for sale, but its blue...
