Goodonya Craig, although it was farkin' hard watchin' you this season.....er, let me rephrase that....it was difficult watchin' you: you were obviously trying so hard and had the pace at most of the tracks to really challenge but right from the Burt Munro being blown off the track and Ruapuna with that fuggin' visor the dice just wasn't falling your way. Inspirational stuff though fella, to a late starter like myself you (and the rest of the team) were a great lesson in how to just get on with it no matter what came along. Some awesome riding along the way too though, and being able to share the track and smell the tyre smoke (it was tyre smoke wasn't it?) as ya came past was priceless as far as I'm concerned.
It's a shitty ol' cliche but the only sure thing about luck is that it's gonna change, so bring on next year and your ugly mug grinning from the top step of the podium.
I agree Mr Stroud is a "real role model" for the young upcoming stars to emulate. (not gonna tell my boy to go to church more often) but to show the respect for others and for solid determination Andrew is the man.
A good friend of mine from OZ has raced against and with Andrew at world endurance races and he has so much respect for him................says he is one of the most focused (and laid back at the same time) guys he has ever raced with.
I believe he could make it ten titles (but my lad wont be into superbikes for a couple of seasons so there is still time) !!!!!!
