Did notice you were on the mark from the off and not a real gradual easing in to the sessions though. looked constant once the way was clear for you.
Ali and TP were pretty even after the first couple of laps per session with a constant gap between em but Ali was stretching it a bit lap by lap.
The guy on the Ducati London South bike? with the orange instructor bib on did pretty much every session, novice inter and fast, I saw in the PM so he was getting tired or trying to master certain bits per lap as he was gradually dropped by Ali and TP in most PM sessions after he had been romping away at the front of the first session after lunch or was he sand bagging?
Dave Harris looked comfortably quick on a bike he has not yet got set up properly so one to watch when it is me thinks?
Hope the bikes were OK at the end of the day for you all and good luck in the first race, see you all there!
Oh yeah, big hint to TP, WTF is the tea tray about????
You could gain 5 mph down the straight if you got shut of the wind break:P |
Well, the tea tray was supposed to be gone by now - I've got a nose cone on order from JHP that was supposed to turn up last week. I'll chase them in the morning.
Thanks for the timing, it gives me something to think about. I figured I was running similar times to Ali - he is definitely better at passing people though, I was being conservative. I'd get held up and let him get away. I started passing people better in the afternoon but still not as good as Ali, I won't be as nice in the future!
Ali and I were hunting one of the DLS guys in one of the afternoon sessions, Ali got him and I had caught him up when he pulled in. Must have been sandbagging though if he was doing times like that earlier on.
Good to finally meet you, hope you get the bike sorted out soon and get back on the track soon.
