Imagine how it felt to be told just minutes before the race that you can't race ...... and no time to make alternate tyre choice.

After what happened to Dunlop's rear tyre in the first Superbike race he was probably well-pleased to be told he wasn't allowed to start race 2!! That delammed tyre is pure body-contents leathers-filling horror! Very embarrassing to Dunlop ... on his namesake's tyres.

The NW still astonishes me when I see the course and the speeds. Interesting that a Kawasaki Z650 supertwin took out that class - wonder how one of those motors warmed up a little would go in a Zane? Seems the 650 twin market is doing well.
