The ride commenced with a rather informative discussion between Rob and Thunder about the mechanics of chain cleaning. Which product to use, what products to avoid, the reasons why and so on and so forth. Probably a little too much information to take in at 5am in the morning!!!
Ever heard the saying "Always the bridesmaid and never the bride"??? Well that's me and the Coin Slot kick at the moment. Last week I had actually started to visualise my victory salute when Thunder stole the win with about a metre to spare. Today, despite the fantastic leadout from Mecca - which involved mowing down the four riders who had escaped off the front - I still couldn't get up and had to settle for yet another 2nd spot! No more grains for you Mecca!!
BSB must have forgotten what time the ride starts, but he managed to put in an appearance at the yet-to-be-named hill after Haddock. It was noticed BSB that you were wasting time at the top of the hill, rolling around and around in circles.... not too keen to go down the other side and come back up eh? I don't blame you actually!!
