Round 3
Moody #10
Not much to say as I was fighting a Flu all weekend and recovering from a nasty crash in Thursday's practice after the front brakes failed me just before the club link! luckily only minor bruises and the bike was ready to go after some quick repairing by Aldrin from Probike and his guys.
Race day wasn't much of an improvement on the Flu side, but I decided to go for it after a positive qualifying time. I had a good fight with Al-Shamsi on his Kawasaki before he lost the rear on the big bowl, I went ahead to secure 7th as the guys in the front were far due to my average start! race 2 was a bit more exciting with Andrea switching positions but mid race I just couldn't defeat my cold and had no energy to push and settled for 7th again.
Considering the circumstances, it wasn't so bad as I'm getting used to the triplet's handling and was happy with my lap times. Better luck next round.
Alan #76
It was another hard weekend for us with me finishing just behind Moody in both races. I'm still struggling with the bike for some reason, it feels good, we know they are fast enough and handle well. for some reason we cannot seem to get to grips with them. I checked back my times from the last time we raced on the national circuit and I've gained 4 seconds a lap!
I've got a practice session coming up where I'm going to ride my old R6 back to back with it to see where we need work. I still believe these bikes have the capabilities to win, its just taking longer than expected!.
