It's been non stop since the start of the year. Well the TT has been and gone and it's 48 weeks and counting until we can be there again. We had a good two weeks of racing round the best track in the world and I would like to thank you all for your support. Without you, this would not have happened.

Practice week went fantastic with 124.6mph average by Wednesday and the fastest privateer by the ennd of the week, finishing 12th fastest in practice overall. Race week wasn't as good as hoped as problems with the bike meant breaking down in the final mile and pushing it the last half a mile over the line while running 15th, but still managed a respectable 27th place and a bronze replica. The second race was better having sorted the fuel problem out from race one. We were battling for a top 15 finish after jumping up and down the leader board like a yoyo, and finally finished 17th out of a very strong field of 83 starters.

The TT may be over but the racing sure isn't. Last week I went to Mallory Park to do a test for MCN on really trick Supermoto bikes which should be out this week. Next up is Oliver's Mount again for the Barry Sheene meeting, then we're back there one week later for the Cock-o-North and from there we're going straight over to the Isle of Man to race the Southern 100. From there I'm straight to Snetterton for the BSB meeting where I'm riding for Park Lane BMW in the Superstock class. I'll keep you posted on how it all goes!

Once again, thanks for you help and support. Roll on TT 2011 - hopefully we'll then be in the top 10....!
