Just got home to good flying weather which is where I am going to be for the next couple of weeks. I am a bit disappointed after last weekend as I really feel like I could have had a couple of podiums, if not a win. My pace was good in both races but I was just a bit unlucky getting nudged by a couple of other riders. As I always say though, that’s racing.
In race one Johnny Rea pushed me out at the first turn which dropped me back to about 10th. It took me a while to come through and by the time I did the front runners were too far ahead. In the second race my start was much better and I was up to 2nd place when Ben Spies pulled quite a harsh move. He lifted up and I had no choice but to go on the gravel. When I rejoined something electrical had broken on my bike so I couldn’t accelerate and ended up being passed be Max too.
As far as the track goes I loved, loved, loved it! All you have to do is absorb it, learn from it and get over it. We now have a couple of weeks before Imola to train and talk with the team on how we can make more improvements to the bike.
I have the Goodwood Revival next weekend and am racing in the classic race against Jeremy McWilliams and Jamie Witham, so I feel it’s going to be a slightly competitive weekend, but fun all the same.
Quick word on the flying. I have about 18 solo hours to do in my little plane before I get my license so I’m going to be cracking on with that before Imola.
