Well done Nicko!!
And well done to Jay on the Museum Hotel CBR600, First time on the bike, first year on a 600, and a 5th (i think) in the 600 class. AND he did it Iron Man!
Do it for Pram College mate!!

Good racing all round. First hour was the best! Stroud, Rees and Love are really in classes of their own arent they!

Thoughts with the downed rider and his family.

Hey guys! Wicked days racing.

Really unfortunate that mate Steve went down! he was going really well and i think the old front tyre let him down as he entered the right hander the bike just folded the front, then straight into the wall. Apparently it didnt work out the best, waiting on an update from the hospital (wont be able to put here till after 6pm) but last i heard he couldnt feel below his chest, really do hope its not permanent!

Thoughts are with you Steve!

Logan.

I keep forgetting to look here as most NZ events use this.

Thought Nicko would have finished higher than he did considering his qualifying time.

I see all three top Superbike finishers had 20 second penaltys for passing under yellow.

Thanks for the messages Garry and others, had a wicked weekend but yes the placing wasn't quite what I was after. Have added a report in a new thread that explains how the weekend went.

Carey is ok after the crash, bashed up ankle that looks like just muscle/ligament damage and a bump to the head.

Mike Smith (from Metalform racing who I usually race alongside) had a crash on his R1 coming out of the hairpin when another rider clipped him, a few laps later Mike crashed again coming through turn 1. He's ok but he couldn't get the bike going again.

Great coverage on Sky and nice shots Dave - that's Ross on the bike in those shots, he's got the team Bernard leathers and I've got the Silver Spool leathers.
