Got back from there last night. Great weekend, and good racing, although shame Team Kawasaki went out so early as were the only competitors to the Suzuki's. Not too much rain, but got completely drenched on the ride to Roscoff yesterday morning.

New tram system is fanatastic and really good for getting from the circuit / campsite into town for a few beers and decent food.

As did I, top weekend. Spectacular off from the Kwak at the first corner after the downpour - did you see it? Bike was going end over end. Epic journey back, Le Mans - Alencon - Rouen - Abbeville - Calais - found some good N roads and also bashed the peage to make the ferry.

How lovely was that Gulf Ducati? Best sounding engine there - although the two beemers sounded great as well!

When that downpour happened straight at the start it kinda caught all the spectators out - one chancer was selling yellow plastic throwover waterproof shells for 25 euros! Must have cost him 50p each!

Down at start / finish at beginning, so only saw big crash from the tv screens. Certainly a way to make yourself popular with rest of the team 10 mins into a 24hr race???

Gulf Ducati did look great in those colours, sounded great, just shame it didn't last.
