I suppose the shorter gearing helps round the twisty stuff and the longer helps in the faster stuff, and they balance eachother out round a whole lap. I suppose you would just choose the shorter gearing if it made you feel better going into Gerrards flat in top, even if it was slower

Not on a later monster engine 9.5 just as you go under the bridge.

On yours 14 43 should be spot on.
