Firstly apologies to Geoff for having to put up with being discussed like this, I'm sure it'll do your self-esteem no harm...

Secondly I doubt Geoff was pushed very hard in the majority of races, but there were a couple where I could have sworn he broke a sweat!

Based on Snet:

Best lap
GS: 1:21.64
AB: 1:24.72

Behind at finish: 27 secs over 30mins

Best lap
GS: 1:41.69
AB: 1:43.59

Behind at finish: 14.9 secs over 15mins


Working on the basis that the 11-13bhp difference (I know that mine was putting out 51.5) is worth 1.5-2 secs/lap then it looks kind of acheivable based on the absolute figures.

Unfortunately racing at our level is no more connected to figures than it is to horoscopes. Racecraft counts for much, as does aggression, and decent nights sleep before. MotoGP boys deal in thous, we deal in getting round the corner without falling off (not my best feature).

So the answer is as per everyone else. Yes, every dog has his day, but I'd put £20 on Boggy taking the championship.
