We also had a good weekend at cadwell and managed 2 4ths, a 3rd and a 5th.

 

I got disqualified on Saturday though bcos the Guzzi breached the power:weight producing 122hp on the dyno (in a detuned state !!!!). So Saturday night we added ballast to get within regs. I started at the back and finished 5th and got into the 1:40s.

 

There is a good u-tube clip of on-bike cadwell footage to give folks an idea of the circuit who don't know it.

 

Its a brute of a circuit - superb !!

 

There is some on bike footage here from Mike Edwards... 3rd link down I think..

Yes mate, two wins a fourth and a..... erm, er.... crash. doh !

 

the fourth was because i was late for the start of the race and had to start from the back of the bloody grid.

 

i crashed in race four (wet) due to a guy going down right in front of me... it was either crash myself (head off the track) or ride over him.

 

a shame because i felt really good and the first lap felt very comfortable to me. ah well, that is racing i guess.

 

here are a few pics:

Glad to hear that you're ok. Was there much damage to the bike?

Bike and rider fine mate ta...

 

We went down on the grass - It was either smack into a tyre wall and damage the front end or drop it on the grass at speed. The only damage was a broken footpeg bracket and brake lever (foot). Most circuits have lovely soft grass - Snetterton is patchy grass, thin soil and loads of flint so it was actually more painfull to crash on the grass than on the track (for me anyway )

Are you racing at any more rounds this year Gyles?

 

It is about time I got off my arse and supported you! Have not had a chance this year- been too busy riding.
