Pirelli VRRC - Philip Island 26/27 August

[Linden]

What carnage in the Sunday Superbikes ... many DEAD bikes

Me


Saturday at the Island - epic race

Sunday at the Island ... a day of regret/failure

Ok Saturday was OK Last F5 in the 1st leg after getting into a bit of a battle with Rob on the 748.

Second leg Saturday was FANTASTIC all 4 F5 bikes dualing and for the first few laps maybe 50M spread (Video coming) the Frank N'Cati was leading on the last lap into MG when the Linden forgot where to brake and TMA snuck through (he did the same to Dean on Sunday)

Saturday night I though I try slipping the new forks through and trying that in warmup

BUT it pissed down so missed warmup (and forgot the change)

Leg 3 Sunday was wet and the I when out on Rat Bear 696 with a Rosso III front BUT missed the start and waited 2 Min at Pit exit. Passed TMA and was closing on Dean but ran out of laps - note to self don't send wave the guy on wets out before you when you know they have NEVER raced in the rain

Leg 4 - the suspension change bit hard dropped 11sec (other guys only down 2-3) and finished lapped and dead last ... needed to make multiple apexs at Honda and MG as front end kept tucking

So from leading F5 to around 13 points behind TMA and 1or 2 off Dean
