I didn't ask you this on Friday but what do you look at when sitting ready for the off?

Don't know what TP looks at, but I look at the gap i'm gonna poke the bike through and keep the lights in my peripheral vision. Seems to work for me, but if there's a better way then I'm all ears!

Spot on fellas, using your peripheral means you react quicker to the change and looking for a gap is where the focus of the eyes should be.

Right, use peripheral vision and look for a gap. Gotcha.

Try not to get pervvy. Gotcha.

Andy, I started watching Thomas last year-it was fairly obvious he was bloody quick and I remember someone saying that you can teach a quick rider to stop crashing easier than a slow rider to go fast. Was watching qualifying a couple a races ago, they followed him into his pit and who did I see but you-sent you a txt-don't know if you got it. You have obviously worked a few little wonders as he now looks much tidyer and less 'loose' than before. Mikka is flying as well isn't he. I love the 125's, real racing, it's all about corner speed and not loosing momentum-bit like riding my Saturno last year at the school............

..Mattia Pasini.. a Misano pupil... watch him...

Pasini is a quick boy too. Heck he leads the Championship at the moment. I watch him like a hawk! LOL
