When I rode them last year they gave ore feel and allowed ore confidence pushing into the corners, they did not drop in like the Rosso's.

Thanks Steve.

Tyres are superb, I really mean that. Only downside being that the test day and 2 races wrecked 2 rears. Gonna try a bit softer rear suspenion at Mallory test day.

Only one big slide which Kev Palmer will tell you all about.

Kev told me that only happened because you were trying to keep up with me through Clearways!

By the way, my tyre was looking a little like yours by the end of the second race... but my 58.2s lap came on lap 14 of the second race, so they seem to grip no matter how bad they look.

what was my fastest time last year Ron, on the worst tyres ever to grace a DD bike

I would put it up here, but I havn't got time to look right now mate.

I think my fastest lap was near the end, I took it easy for the last couple of laps but just before that was my fastest lap
