Don’t think it was a coincidence that leading up to that Sheffield meeting, after a bone dry Spring where there seemed to be blue grooves at most places, we had a fair bit of heavy rain the days proceeding that meeting. That resulted in an excellent race track that provided plenty of entertainment.    Unfortunately since then, we’ve had a bit of a drought again! Warm weather and little rain means it’s incredibly hard to get enough water down in to the track before it evaporates. Could have done with a downpour or two today..

hink he just want to have one last blast round a track on his own just to do it. for his own mind.

For anyone coming who has to cross the Orwell bridge, be warned one lane closed and 40mph, been absolute chaos. Allow plenty of time to arrive. 

IMO he was not quite the rider he had been before this accident anyway so maybe it is an appropriate time for him to retire but I understand what you are saying .No one would doubt his bravery or commitment but to get back to full fitness would  appear to be a long road for him   

that could happen to any rider riding now
