Got to take our stuff off the hire bike now and return it before we can even start to think about packing up.

did my best.
The boys tried their best having put our stuff on a hired bike; but with no warm up session it really was wing and a prayer stuff. It didn't fit me and settings felt awful but I stayed out and managed to get 5th.
Magic is woven!
Big up to the boys, by time I returned from Eric's wedding this morning there was a bike ready for me to take to the grid. Should be on Eurosport 2 about 3pm.

All over.
Leading James behind Robbie in the race and unfortunately the bike seized. Have jumped in the car to head back up North to join in celebrations for the wedding of 'little blu' and Janine.

Late practice 5.10pm
Now that's done we have to crack on and get the wheels to the tyre men as we're out first thing at 9am for qualifying. Warmers on at 8am means we have to the tyres done tonight.

Track ride
Here we are at Silverstone. Off for an informative run round the track. I hope everyone will be able to keep up with me on my 'mean steed of speed'...

Going to be a scorcher...
... for today's coaching client here at Le Mans. The sun is already out and at full force so drinking plenty of water could be the order of the day.

I had forgotten...
... how much I dislike Le Mans. However it makes a change for "Frank" he's never been here before; but my coaching client today was here last year so he already knows his way round.

Nothing today.
Discovered that the frame's broken so we won't be racing today. Had a fab time though all things considered.

Not too good.
Good start and was in the top ten but had to pull in at the end of the first lap as the HT lead had pulled out of the Mag. Back out for a few laps and the gear linkage fell apart. Poor Howie, he never got chance to ride. He'll be starting tomorrow so might get some laps in.

Oh dear.
Rocker box cover came off. Not exactly sure when - to start with couldn't work out whether my feet were slipping of pegs with vibration or the copious amounts of oil. Just managed two flying laps. Howie's not been here before either so has got special dispensation to get out later for three laps.

More points in the bag!
Happy to come 3rd again. Lee and Robbie, in front doing their own thing, probably busy chatting about racing Panigales and I simply followed them home.

That'll do!
Very happy with 3rd. Lee won but gets no championship points. Robbie got 2nd and concluded his 2012 overall championship win.
Time for brekky.
First out this morning for 9am qualifying. Robbie is on Pole and Lee Johnston on the VIP bike and is between him and me. We're all on 35s and next up is Dijon on a 36.

Free practice Donington
I got permission to run with cameras for this evenings practice session as some of my video watchers have commented on how they've missed my onboard footage. So we've just recorded the whole 20 minute session for you all!

Grand day.
This beautiful morning weather at Cadwell probably means me and my coaching client are going to have a decent day.
