Changed one of the fork springs looking for more front end feel and just found more weaving! So that's being put back for tomorrows qualifying. Just five of us on 1.59s with me in 4th. Bit cross with myself really as I know I should have done better. Qualifying is at 9am. Nice.

Lots of elevation.

Well it's dry today so managed to get out on track. Built in a quarry Castelloli is not like anything we have at home, there's plenty of monster elevation changes. But it's very bumpy.

Arrived back at Castellioli

near Barcelona to honour the coaching clients that were all disastrously rained off last November. And guess what? It's raining!

Just done the session. Bit of discussion amongst 848 riders as we are sharing the track with the Nordic BOTT. The organisers are wanting us to race and share the start with them. ok we're lapping faster overall but I don't want to arrive at the first corner on the opening lap to be confronted by a gaggle of slow 1098s who simply powered off the line.

Thanks to four counties for their support and sponsorship of my new V121Pro coaching support vehicle. Make sure you phone them to give them the opportunity to quote for all your track / racing / vehicle insurance requirements.

What a difference a week makes!

Back at Oulton Park with a coaching client. It's dry, warm and dare I say, it's even a bit sunny!
