So are 55 and 56 both points-scoring entries then, or just guest riders?

[dickieducati]

i beleive they are the ducati uk guest bikes so non points scoring.

not that it matters one jot to me. but assuming they come for arguments sake 1st and 2nd, are those points taken out of the eqaution or does 3rd place in effect get maximum points? maybe worth claifying now save any toys being thrown at a later date.

The way I understand it is that the Guest riders affect nothing.

So if they do finish 1st & 2nd, then the 3rd place rider will get maximum points (35) and so on as per normal.

Mark Potter was at cadwell back in April testing some bmw type tourer thing. Chillo-style wheelies over t'mountain and panniers dragging round Coppice... he was quite handy!

So long as he gives me plenty of space each time he comes past then I'll be happy enough.

Unknown factor is Glyn, on Chi's old number... what's the scoop on him?

Michael Neeves is an ex-250 racer I think. I reckon he'll be handy enough on the multi-numpty...

[lizzie]

Michael Neeves was racing at Brands with Bemsee when we were there last month - so in fact, he's had more recent racing experience than any of you lot (Dom excepted)!

Didn't do especially well, but I've no idea whether that reflects the standard, whether his bike wasn't up to it/had problems etc.

I've heard Marc Potter is quick too.

Michael is on the DucatiUK guest bike, but I don't know whether Marc is considered a guest rider or not - and are we sure he's on a Multi?

Quick search on Google...

MCN tester: Michael Neeves
Age: 33
Weight: 12st 7lb
Height: 6ft
NEEVES’ riding style is derived from racing 250cc and 600cc bikes.

Also found some qualifying times with BEMSEE at Brands GP (although didn't race by the looks) doing 1:38's

TIME SHEETS

Mr Neeves, Trev Franklin and Marc Potter did a KRC Endurance race at Donny last year too.

Of course don't forget Marc Potters best result this year, he was 6th!!

...out of 6, in the election
