Phil always caught me on the straight bits but it was all a bit late as i was already at the hairpin, gerrards, and edwinas.

I have been thinking about this a lot! I can't see how if you are 9,500 at the bridge you will have any bits of your engine left in one piece by Edwinas. I was hitting 8,500 at the bridge, staying in top, and revving out by the exit of Gerrards. If I shortened the gearing to hit 9,500 at the bridge I would be revving out all the way round Gerrards and down to Edwinas. Restricting your pace like that, along with the abuse the engine will take over 18 laps can't be the best way to a quick lap. I agree you will have better drive in the tighter section, but if the faster bike has already passed you coming out of Gerrards it will not matter. At the end of the day it is whatever works for the rider to get their best lap.... because if they are faster round a whole lap than the next guy they should stay ahead regardless of who is quicker where.
