[Tonio600]

loved the track
loved the DSC people
loved the battle with Bones (you're a great racer mate) in race 1
didn't love Zimbo chasing me and reducing the gap so easily in race 2

So overall still not happy with my performance... I'm not Valentino and will never be him, that's a fact.

You did great Tonio, don't be too hard on yourself This racing stuff is a steep learning curve.

Cheers Lucie... The most difficult is to accept the fact that I'm not as fast as I thought I was. Fortunately I still enjoy preparing and taking care of my bike

[Grib]

I think a few of us feel like that right now Well, not so much 'not as fast as I thought I was', but frustrated at not improving faster.

...I thought you French men had a reputation to uphold

Glad you're still enjoying the racing Antoine, your bike does you credit and your riding will improve from doing such intense riding, just hang on to a bit more "corner-speed" and you'll see

Well he's Italian and your French so no you wont.........be.

Mate as always a pleasure to race with you (and everyone else of course). I reckon you should of kept the same spring in and not changed it but then again i wouldnt of beat ya in a race that didnt count and be right behind ya in Race 1, so you keep changing things that make you go slower for my benefit ...ha-ha-.
Great weekend mate , i especially like that piccie of u and me the one where im infornt of U............

I enjoy racing with you too Tonio, sadly you beat me more often than I beat you, but the season isn't over yet!
