At the moment (and I know that can change) I feel like I can set the pace at the remaining rounds (the test will be Anglesey and Oulton, where I have never been) and honestly believe the only way I won't win the championship is if I have any more bad luck. I have in the past been warned against making such Awesome statements, but it is really how I feel right now. |
Mate that really is some Awesome talk right there! But I don't necessarily disagree. Just looked at your results last year and other than your Mallory result being the same
your best result at this point was 8th. You can really see how you improved after every round.... and it got me thinking that you fast boys better hope I dont do the same!
Think my first result this year was a win... from 7th. At Mallory I missed the test day and after getting up at 4:30am driving 2 hours and jumping on a bike with a completely new setup, 12 laps later I was third on the grid (not that I ended started from third
). Only 1/4 second behind you and I wasn't following anyone.
However, I will say that your advice and general support has been invaluable in both rounds and certainly helped me no end.
But I wouldnt be any kind of real friend if I made it easy for you to claim the title now would I?
