I just couldnt bring myself to pull in, i was fortunate to be in 3rd gear but just couldnt get past kev. I was revving it to 11000 , but then trying to ease off towards the end of the straight before the bike exploded, but i found out its hard to 'ease off' when your racing. Cant wait for angelsey with all the gears!
