I knew something was wrong with the front brake as I rode to the holding area for the race. Pushed back to the garage but no one could see anything wrong. Went out and did the race on a real wing and a prayer, pumping and feathering the brake, never sure whether it would be there and only ever working about 50% at the best of times. Hung on in there but couldn't safely mix it with the 250s or 400s for fun. I just did what I had to do - enough to win the moto450 class. Turns out the front disc is warped and it spent its time throughout the race pushing the pads back!

Qualifying race.
Done the first race today. Drawn from a random ballot I was placed 19th grid. Mixed in with Formula 400s and open 250s - eight laps later I crossed the line in 5th first moto450 by 20 seconds. Just having some fitness food before the trophy race where I get to go off the grid in 5th.
Practice session.
Got about 5 laps in to the ten minute session and the chain came off. Trouble is it sheared a front sproket guard bolt so Steve 'monkey hands' McNichol is in charge of sorting it out.

Sabina gets new numbers.
Here we are at Silverstone to help promote the moto450 concept. There are seven of us racing tomorrow with the Formula 400s.

Great October day.
I can't belive it, here at Donington and the weather is fantastic. Better than some of the wet miserable 'summer' days I've had coaching this year!
