JW. LG and KS......
James Whitham and Lea Gourlay on Lea's TZ350's at Cadwell Park yesterday.

Lea broke the lap record for 350's in Saturday's qualifying. James was second 3 seconds behind.

Lea did a 1 min 38 sec lap.... not bad on a 26 year old 350 on treaded tyres.

James had to retire whilst battling for 2nd place, (broken exhaust). Lea lost the ability to change gear 3 laps from the end when the gear lever snapped and he was stuck in 3rd gear. Managed to win by a few hundred yards.

Girl on right is one of my daughters. Other daughter was with a chap called Leon Haslam.........

I've not won squat.

Don't see how I could win anything without being able to change gear though! Especially at Assen.

Oh yeah, you need to be fast to win ... DOH!
