First Assen Report Just got off the phone from AntonyE after the first session of the Track Day. It's very hot weather over there about 25 Deg he thinks. He said the new track is just 'mental' and the new hairpin is eating bikes all over the place. Guess who had an 'off' on the 1st lap ?............. TP of course !  He's OK though thanks goodness. Chain snapped apparently, damaged the cases and they are trying to fix it.About 5 bikes went down in the first session, mostly in the hairpin gravel trap. The DB killers are making the bikes run rough, and he thinks most people will run without in the second session. Atmosphere is great, and the paddock fantastic. The surface is all concrete block paving, so Eric has been round with his hammer drill and securing tents down for people. Antony says he's screwed most of the paddock before lunchtime !!!!!!!!!!!!  | |

| Assen paddock Lets hope Eric has got his credit card with him, last time I was there (2001) they had chaps coming round checking for nailed down tents!!!! With big fines if they found any!! As long as he keeps away from the local "facilities" and he doesn't screw anything else........itchy bits during a race wouldn't be nice!!  | |

He got into the gravel trap on some corner and when trying to get out the chain snapped. This holed the cases and then the oil cooler sprang a leak. He didn't fall of or anything like that and the bike has now been fixed. He seemed pretty confident and was hoping for front row qualifier. All power to him - I wanna see some bits off my bikes win a race! | |
