That up there is VeloX 7, wot is Dutch and powered by lady cyclists. I aten't got a picture of ARION 3 yet, but it's probably a bit bigger since Yas is sharing riding duties with
BRITISH Chaps' record holder
1 Ken Buckley; she's originally a rower and somewhere north of 6' tall.
Spent the morning watching the Italians fettling their new machine
Taurus. Brake discs and the rear (tubeless) tyre were causing some headaches; brakes now OK but tyre still playing silly buggers. Their solution to this? Have lunch
Picture from this morning still squeezing through the very skinny pipe at the Super 8; shortly I'm going to head over to the technical inspections where I can point the camera at most of the rest of the machines. No sign yet of the Japanese, the Australians or the Canuckistanis but the
BRITONS, the Dutch, the Italians, the French, the USAnians and the Mexicans are all here. No Russians this year chiz.
1: Though former University of Toronto PSO Trefor Evans has dual nationality and has gone faster than Ken has so far managed, but say's he's Canadian.
Edit: Morning photos now uploaded:
