We finnished 6th and 13th at the Bol dor at the weekend.
It was a difficult weekend with thunder storms and heavy rain on Thursday and Friday.
The senior bike started 22nd and finnished 6th. The junior bike started some where in the 40's and finnished 13th.
This meant the Senior team finnished 3rd in the World championship and the juniors finnished 9th.
Not bad for a Privatier team on a very small budget.

I was the tyre man for junior team and had over 60 tyres fitted over 5 days !

Sure didn't even though both bikes crashed on the Sunday morning when the light rain started.

Apart from that the Yamahas ran with out any problems. :cool:

OH did anyone see the big write up in MCN ?

Ok what big write up !!!! A British team has just got 3rd in a world championship and they get no Press Coverage !!!!!

WAKE UP MCN

Or was this because the MCN backed team failed to finnish the race ????

Congrats to Phase One!

I was really quite impressed with the Italian Aprilia team. Not because they finished 10th overall, but because throughout the weekend they kept uploading pictures and video to their website! Cool to see them ride through the night and change a tyre quicker than I can take off my helmet.
