At least its a beautiful day on Phillip Island today, which should allow back markers Lorenzo and Rossi to work towards the front. Should be interesting.
I should get a DVR lol.
I can't put spoiler alert in the title until the morning when I can get to my PC in the bedroom where the Mrs is sleeping.
Well that was interesting.
Trust Cormanus, Ptero, noroomtomove, and Aussieflyer are enjoying the race and day.
What a day! After the rain and wind of the past two days today must have looked like a postcard picture on the TV. It was still very cold for this time of year but at least it was dry. The racing was good however not up to the usual standard that we've come to expect where a cigarette paper thickness separates the front end of the pack ... well sometimes it does. A shame that Marquez bit the dust but when it happened the crowd got a little excited thinking that it could mean that Rossi had a chance to win. Rossi rode like a demon until there was just no hope 'cos Crutchlow was just way too fast today. As usual the Moto 3 and Moto 2 made good entertainment.
Was great to finally meet the well known characters being Cormanus, Ptero and Noroom in 3D. We shared a beer or two, some good conversation and watched the main event from on top of the turn 12 embankment. I tried to get a photo however my 'selfie' photography skills just weren't up to scratch so we'll just have to stay unidentified a for bit longer ... no loss, us boys won't be winning any beauty competitions! These blokes did some serious riding in all sorts of weather just to get to the track and watch a bike race. I take my hat off to them for their determination and look forward to the next chance we get to catch up ... maybe the WSBK in February.
