Now that definately did not...

...go to plan. Same old same old - downpour on the grid. Red flag for someone and I put my hand up. Race stopped and everyone given 15 mins to change tyres if they wanted. I had spare bike in pit lane. Then I was really suprised by backlash from a 'gang' of other competitors accusing me of stopping the race to allow those with money for wet tyres to have more success. I tried to explain that safety was the issue and that I race for fun and riding in those conditions was not fun, but they continued jabbering and shouting at me. Stu said only race if I wanted to - so I didn't. In shock really that everyone had turned on me so nasty I thought it was supposed to be family style!
