...it is all in the head with DD. I am sure that any of the top 5 from last year could have set the same time on just about any of the top ten bikes (if given a few sessions to get used to it). The only difference is that when you really push and start to get close to the edge, you know what the bike you have been riding all year is likely to do.... and it is that final push that makes up the last second between 1st and 5th. Obviously this is only my view on it.

....although I do sometimes wonder if it would have made much difference to my lap times if my bike was as quick as Alan or Kev down the straights.
