Racing in rain is a fact of life--If you can master wet riding you will have an advantage over other riders.
Now when it gets so cold ya have to use ice spikes then maybee its too cold

Just ride slower and brake earlier and lean less until you feel confident enough to ride faster, brake later and lean more.
Not that I'd know how to do any of the above, but I like to pretend to be intelligent by giving out advice.
P.S: You know it's only water right??:gob:

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqueteando y engañando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estás feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un día bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I Stay or should I go?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
La indecisión me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, líbrame
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Dígame que debo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
¿Sabes qué ropa me queda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
¿Yo me frío o lo soplo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy - va a ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
¿Yo me frío o lo soplo?

Just tell him to run it at 29 to 30 PSI. If the pressure is any lower, the grooves on his GPR 70 SPs will close up when the tires fold in and water wont be able to channel through them.
On his warm up lap, tell him to not bother with swaying from side to side in order to warm up the tires. Heaps of people do it, but it does nothing to warm up tires. It only works on 4 wheels. When the pros do it on 2 wheels, it's generally just to clean the surface of the tires from mud etc.
SInce he has no tire warmers, best way to warm them up quickly is to accelerate hard and brake hard as many times as possible before lining up on the dummy grid. The heat generated from the middle of the tires will spread across to the sides some what.
All the best to him.
