In my opinion a dangerous undertake when you were on a tight correct line, why not take the right side with such the speed differance that he had. I know everybody is out there to better themselves but a RED FLAG spoils it for all and one at 45secs is not on,that is my rant over and only my opinion.

I would have been under Pikey at turn one there Phil. The pass at by no4 is something I would do also (sorry) That first lap in DD is critical , take no prisoners or is that pensioners?

To be fair Phil, I have to agree with Neil, you did leave a fair bit of room and as Neil said, first lap is the critical lap. Old, old story, leave a gap the size of a fag paper and some one will stick there bike in there.

I was closing to the apex, it could have been nasty. I know its not ballet dancing.

SorryPhil that was me ...

I was carrying a lot more speed through old hall and up the hill .. There was about 3 feet between you and the kerb so the gap was there .. aggresive granted but fair and safe in my eyes

to explain though it was the first race, first lap and i had no idea there would be such a speed differential .. if you look in the second race i pass you later on in the race at the same corner on the outside this time .. difference was at that point i'd worked out i could

Cracking footage though

A 3 foot gap and a bike and rider at an angle of 45 does not leave much room for a mistake,its club racing not moto GP. IMHO.Rant over.

I tried that move 2 or 3 times, each time had to back off and lost a shed load of time, once might have have been you Kev, I guess it depends how bad you want it and how close you dare get, if it was Matt Larrett in front I would have gone for it..... :)

lucky for me I guess, I'd have been last if we didn't go back a lap.
