Just listened to it on some internet radio. Bruce won by a large margin and set a new record. Then when they were doing some post race interviews they said that Shaun came off on the last lap. No more details other than that he has been taken to hospital.

Hope it is nothing too bad and he is back for the 600 race.

Well done Bruce and it is amazing how the lap record speeds just keep rising.

Sorry to hear about Shaun - hope you mend well.

The course is changing, jumps also known as bridges are being flattened paint being swapped in for high grip paint and recessed cat eyes being trialled.


Not too mention you can buy a 180HP CBGSXR1 and get it prep for racing for say $20kGBP whereas the RC45 from an era ago was worth $500,000GBP.

Too true. But a 128mph lap on a proddie bike is still pretty damn impressive.

Hope the Ginga Ninja is ok.
