I said that to my Mrs, He only got back on because it was the Home GP and he didn't want to disappoint the fans.And what a finish to the 250 race
.Got the 125 to watch yet but seems like a Brit win there too
Got back about an hour or so ago, great day out and some most enjoyable riding to be had on the way there & back.
Shame about JT
Funny hearing Stoner b
hing about being called a wr by certain sections of the crowd, whilst being interviewed before the podium. Won't someone please think of the children...

I've just got back and I'm totally knackered. I'll start with the bad news:
Above all else, I think Scott Redding's achievement is going to raise the bar for Bradley Smith, which is only going to be a good thing. I think Toseland's will to please the fans and soldier on, despite what must have been an absolutely heartbreaking time for him, filled 90% of the crowd with some of that good old-fashioned British pride that we haven't felt lately.
- Some ttted my bike in the 'secure' bike parking which resulted in me having to rip-off what was left of the offside fairing
- On the way up to Donington on Wednesday afternoon, the side pod of my Arai snapped off but thankfully my mate who was following in the car had a black RX7 in the right size
- Watching Toseland suffer the race
- Winning Scott Redding's record setting leathers at the Day Of Champions on the Thursday
- Chatting with Chris Vermeulen and Sylvain Guintoli
- Going to a VIP dinner with all the British 125, 250 and RBR riders on the Friday evening
- Bumping into Dani Pedrosa in the bar where the aforementioned dinner was and then realising he's a nice guy
- Watching the races from the Goddards VIP suite whilst quaffing champagne and eating strawberries
- Wandering around the paddock and literally bumping into Valentino Rossi on his scooter about 30mins before the race
- Meeting Ben Spies, Ant West, Casey Stoner, Shinya Nakano and James Toseland in the paddock
- Realising at around 1pm how much Scott Redding's leathers had just gone up in value
Above all else, I think Scott Redding's achievement is going to raise the bar for Bradley Smith, which is only going to be a good thing. I think Toseland's will to please the fans and soldier on, despite what must have been an absolutely heartbreaking time for him, filled 90% of the crowd with some of that good old-fashioned British pride that we haven't felt lately.
