31 front seems low.

I go 35 front and 20/22 rear hot on Metzelers which are give or take the same compounds. I don’t think the track affects it much. The changes for individual tracks are on gearing, but that would be overkill in Inters.

I've told the old baastard to run 35 in the front but you know what he's like. Forgetful cuunt

Anyone else at Rockingham this coming weekend? I'm booked for Friday evening, which I believe is the last time the national layout will ever be used frown



Also, just booked for Cartagena in January. Anyone else?

Did 2 days last week at Anglesey with Jamie Whitham trackdays. Best trackdays I’ve done in a long time, loads of space on track, don’t think we had a single red flag over the two days and it’s useful having the instructors there. Definitely would recommend them

Was that Tue/Wed? I believe you guys had some decent weather, unlike us racing at the weekend...

It's why I didn't venture into the paddock to find you, it was horrible laugh

You did well in some nasty conditions, well done!

Wednesday/Thursday. Was great weather. Bit damp on the first session on Wednesday but then was spot on for the rest of the time

I was in Novices on the Wednesday. Third TD and by far the best. Well worth spending the extra to get the extra space and tuition from Jenny Tidmouth. Less aggressive day all round and definitely recommended.

I did two days at Anglesey back in July with Whitham Track days. It was really well run, and I think there was only 10 or 12 in fast group, and 5 of them were me and my mates
The pace of the group was a lot slower than normal track days, but with so few people on track, you never really got stuck in Traffic
I'd not been to Anglesey before and was blown away by how good it was. Shame it's so bloody far from Swindon, and the weather can be pretty crappy there at times

A photo from my wobble around in the novice group at last week's Rockingham evening sessions. Even got the knee on the deck at one point too, if only for a little love tap.

Best lap from Assen

https://vimeo.com/289491940


Wasn't really riding great. Couldn't get into a rhythm but the track is great if anyone fancies it unfortunately they've added a stupid chicane to slow you down compared to the excellent fast kink that the moto gp get to do.
