Be careful chaps...
Good luck everyone. Mallory seems to throw up more than it's fair share of accidents (3 red flags in one race a couple of seasons ago, and at least 5 offs last year). I know racing is dangerous, but hopefully we can keep it sensible and all come out of it in one piece like we did at Brands.

Going soft ehhh...

Now may be my memory is faded/jaded but I seem to remember 5 red flags in the second race in 2007. Of about 30 bikes that started, only about 15 were sticky side down at the end of the last race.

My tactic is to hang out at the back, wait till everyone else crashes over the new super long extended track sessions, and then take 1st place!!!!!

Cya Saturday,
Andy

racing is racing; what happens, happens, not sure 'keeping it sensible' is a phrase which can be used in the heat of battle into edwinas or the hairpin!
