Only needs to find 9 mph. Spuff found 19mph at easter.

I like the the fact the we all expect a 4.6 from Lex, but everyones put their money on Urs for terminal.

If lex runs 4.6's, whats his terminal likely to be ?

Yeah, it was a typo -- I was aiming for 236. But even 238 is achievable, and consistent with a low 6 second pass. If anyone's going to have that sort of top end speed in Europe, then Andy's probably the one to do it.

Urs was the mph man last year, high 4.7 over 320mph I think?
