gwm, davie, did anyone get who was the photographer on Saturday. I thought R&D but nothing up it wasn't power images other than that I don't know.
We were told it was this guy but as you say nothing is up yet.

Power Images was on holiday but might be there for the 26th.

That photographer has a real talent for taking pictures of people when they're looking utterly disinterested.

He caught the good side of MTB's bike though. You can even barely see the Rossi 46 stickers I put on it.

they aren't great, they are well after the apex, on a straight or a million in the pits. I don't mind one or two but there is like 5 of me and my bike doing nothing, they aren't really that good as well, maybe the paid copy will be better when I get it.

there was one guy who had 10 photos of him standing around his bike, same for that semi decent middle age bird.

I just don't care, had a look an I only seen one of you davie, amazing really.

still a few of your bike in the pits...

powerimages guy is better, just have no idea why the guy takes countless "action" picutres of people in the pits and of their bike sat there.

How the hell he never went to the hairpin is beyond me, that's the best corner for a photo, its obviously the hardest as well as its the only one I can get my knee down without pulling muscle wink

No I never, in the corners I was fine on the straights my bike would bog down in limp home mode due a faulty exup valve, I had to short shift, everything would go streaming past me or catch me up. Even 600's I couldn't get near on the straights only in the brakes
