Just got back from Italy, all 4 races were good, watching lanzi ground out the fairing at the final chicane as he tried to stay in front of the 2 yamahas was awesome. The tv probabley didnt show chillis charge in the first race and a local team running an mv which was dead last in the first race on lap one and progressively worked its way up the tail enders supported by a very partisan crowd. james got lucky again with vermulan having to start from the pitlane and I wonder what fine no 200 got for ferrying him back to the start line.
Interestingly Annette shared a bus back to the car park at gatwick with a foggy team bloke and overheard a phone conversation with chris walker which indicated that both his engines were time expired and were knackered. A repeat of james haydons exprience one bike for corser and the scraps for chris (foggys team budget having been wasted on a mobile palace, sorry hospitality unit)?
Roll on magney cour. what other championship has 3 possible champions going into the last round. Annette is convinced james will do it but I think that the pressure may well get to him and regis my money is on chris and the honda (all though I hope I am wrong) the guy has been getting better every round and the bike is amazing.
