I can't believe the amount of moaning about the times .. it was only Simon's testimonial so far this season and as I said testimonials will always take longer, when the team meetings start it will be back to normal
a testimonial will take longer because of many things, but the presentation will go much longer because of gifts to all riders, extra interviews, and extra pictures
youngsters getting the GTR has to be the way to get this deal working .. the established riders won't want to know, but get the kids on board now so when the regs say everyone has to use GTR it won't be such an issue
Peterborough tried that last season with Cook, Bjerre, Thomsen but it still didn't work out .. to me the way the team is built this year is the way to go
Team USA are really pushing for the future, it's good to see the info for them on a regular basis, Steve Evans and the team are seriously on a mission.
the preview edition of the Star is great value and seeing some of the predictions does make me chuckle
do you honestly think Scott had intentions to ride this year?
I'm not saying it was forced on him, but it was out of necessity as there are no replacements available for Kyle Hughes.
and you won't see him all season, much much less in fact
some clubs try treating the league as a breeding ground for the future, the 'stand alone' clubs have other priorities
Testimonials always take longer than a regular meeting, lots of presentations and interviews, lots of extra photos, support races etc, so it was expected.
I saw some good racing today though, so came home happy
