Round 3 wash up
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 5:19 am
Ok here we back in one peice although very sore.
Yes felles I had a low side at T11 & it feels like ive brused a couple of ribs & torn a liggy or two.
The bike was fine a few scratchers overwise unmarked. Even the scratchers were caused by the bike sliding 1.2 metre;s into the kitty litter. READ [railway ballest] didint even bend the gear,clutch levers, Nothing!! Just layed over on the oggy knob & nothing touched.,Pretty slow corner
corner 11 probably around 60/70 Ks.
Happy it wasnt T1 at 200+ Ks 5th gear.
Had a great first lap untill then, was up in third with 1st & 2nd place riders in the series, & going strong. Then arseup I went. Riders crashing everywere. Probably the same issue.
Did a postmortem after I rode it back to the pits, & concluded the front tyre wasnt comming up to temp. Although it was sunny there was no air temp [around 14deg] & zero track temp.
Rest of the day I was playing catch up stuck in the mid pack dramas, & couldnt get a clean lap. Had another huge front slide at Corpret hill, [ a fast right hander 160+ks But that how the cookie crumbles.
So its rest up now, see were I sit in the championship & concider what to do next. Broadford is out for me.
Finished up with 22 points for my effort.
Im just having a rest & rethink.
