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.

Sunshine and showers
Wet and dry - is making it a bit of a grim coaching day for my client. He doesn't have spare wheels so we are having to tread very carefully - so to speak.

Something different.
Having a run out on one of Chris Wilson's bikes today. Been invited to ride it at Goodwood.

Rain stayed away...
So far today it has been overly warm but no rain. Practice was alright third behind Robbie and Marty Mutt; done a bit of twiddling for qualifying tomorrow. Coaching word seems to be getting round, three folk have called for tips today.

Job done.
Won the Tom Wheatcroft trophy for Stu to take back home. Got down to a 1.15.246 in the process. Mike Cooper 2nd.
