I was with John yesterday and he has offered to present a prize for the best prepared bike entered in the series. He will judge this himself, and obviously his own bike is not included. He wanted to make the point that the newest bike won't neccessarily win, but the bike which in his opinion has been prepared best for racing.
that's very decent of them, but as anybody who has seen my bikes can tell you its unlikely to be me picking up the prize if looks of the bike have anything to do with it.
