here at Cadwell today. It makes it all worthwhile when my client, a Racesafe Marshall, who's picked me out of the gravel a few times, is enjoying himself.

Great race with Leon. Couldn't quite get the better of him though, tried my best, got in front a couple of times but ultimately finished 2nd by 0.48.

Got a reasonable start and had a bit of a battle at the front but was always mindful of not messing it up by getting in the way of the title challengers Marty and Jon. When I looked back and saw Marty I moved out of his way, without realising that Leon was tucked in his slip stream. Bu$$er! I had a great tussel with Leon but he got the better of me by 0.019 across the line. Popped the 2nd fastest race lap in though so will be on the front row for tomorrow's race. 10.25 might be live on Eurosport.

What a gamble!

After this morning's light shower the track was damp but I had no idea what it was like round the back; so went out on wets. With only about 8 laps in total to play with I had to get out and post some sort of decent time. With about 9 mins to go came in and changed to dry tyres. Managed to get out of the pit land with just enough time for one flying lap. That was all I needed - pole position for today's race at 5.10pm.

That's nice.

Well had a 20min run round with the boys; did 8 laps. Four of us, usual suspects, doing 2.16s. Bike is not happy over the bumps so going to have a fiddle with stuff. Qualifying is at 9am.

Practice.
