The true grit Northerner award is now yours. See if you had a fat bike like mine this sort of thing wouldn't happen

GWS oh goatie one.

I had a grandstand view Neil. You were 90 deg to the track. I just missed your spinning bike as it came across the circuit. Get well soon mate and nice riding from your grid position.

GWS Neil. I cannot avoid to remember few weeks ago at Castle you or Ron commenting that is almost impossible to highside a 583

Ouch, guess Cadwell is not going to be your favourate track.

I came round mansfield to a flurry of red flags and marshals running all over the shop and what seemed to be a train wreck on the track just before the hairpin, i always hate to see a bike down but to see three always fills me dread. caught a glimps of Senna (Kev) on his feet so knew at least one of you was OK and standing, so i was glad to hear that Ron was also on his feet when i stopped back on the grid and later to hear you had only sufferd a broken ankle and collar bone was also a relief.

Hope you heal fast m8 and we see you back on the grid.

No hard feelings from me mate, as you already know. It wasn't a malicious or dangerous move. You were already past, and Kev and I were cracking on with it.... unfortunately just a little too close to you when you came unstuck. I was actually making a run on Kev through Mansfield to outbrake him into the chicane, keen to follow you on the chase to Bradders.... so I was gaining on Kev, when, as Phil said, you went completelty 90 degrees to the direction of travel, with your left foot already visible over Kevs head... the perfect roadblock! Kev had nowhere to go, and once there were 4 obstacles sliding down in front of me, I had even less options but to try to slow as much as possible. I thought a gap was opening, but just at the last minute you came tumbling under my front wheel (I didn't aim for you, honest!). I actually felt pretty sick as I hit you square in the ribs, so was quite relieved when I saw you make your way up the grass bank under your own steam. Funny how we haven't actually raced eachother head-to-head in 2 years of racing, and the weekend we do I end up running you over.

I have to second the big thanks to Hugh for finding where they had taken you (even though at first they were convinced you hadn't even been in the Med Centre!), and also to Dean, his missus, and his mate who helped load your kit and get you home.

You are the current Championship leader, and there is little doubt in my mind you would have taken the Class B Championship this year. I will do my best to win it for you!

By the way, you can keep the pump.... I noticed it was thrown from the bike in the off, so is probably past its best

Oh... and the Marshalls were commenting on the impressively thick Black line you left on the track!!
