There was no dust whatsoever and on a day like Thursday that’s down to the expertise of Bob Ellis and the track staff. unlike Birmingham the previous day. But if the outside had a few sprinkles of water during the evening,,, wouldn't it have made an outside line to pass on,,, as well as inside, so in theory better racing.

There's a difference to doing it correctly like just giving the outside a water to create more grip and doing it incorrectly watering the whole track including the slicker areas turning into bend the riders hate.

Fair comment there apart from the knock at Birmingham where we would have considered it utopia had we been allowed to spend the whole of the previous day preparing the track!
