Three critical points taken off opponents including a pass of experienced top five rider (Sarjeant) - an impressive haul for a 'NDL makeweight' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it says a lot about modern engines / bikes and why we see a lot slicker tracks these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
