Just back in from the final evening runs and the awards bash. Todd edged his world record out to 86.65 mph and Damjan finally got his 80 mph hat with an 80.01. And then crashed Eivie 4.2 in what was apparently a deeply spectacular way. He's OK but the bike is almost certainly a write-off.
Dave in the AR1 set a new
BRITISH record with a 70.60, but it didn't last long before Ken trounced him with a 75.04. Which puts
BRITAIN ahead of Italy - since Andrea only managed a 72.19 tonight - and Australia (not playing this year). Some of the Scousers would have been bouncing off the walls while still out in the desert if there were any but Dave and Ken both just told me they're too knackered to party any more. Top work by the whole team to get the bike back together and running with the big boys.
My grate frend Jan-Marcel only managed a 76.49 tonight (cramp with two miles still to go) but still bagged third overall behind Todd and Damjan. Erika says this is his fifth third in six years
No photos from this evening uploaded yet coz I'm going to bed.
