Good interview, nice to see footage of hampton downs put in there too.

That seems a bit of a cock-up with the design of the course, if you can't stop after crossing the finish line at full speed. How long has that been known about?

Proven on TV1 Today -- Who knows how long the officials there have known about it, People have informed them about it, but as we see, Nothing changed O well.

Apart from that, I think the track is exellent, facillities are still crap, but they will come I guess

Many would know after their first test ride of the track...

The track start/finish cock up was known about months before the Nationals.

On the plus side I think Craig came across very well, giving Honda and bike racing a great representation. Well done mate, and thanks for the lil' insight into your season.

How many people come to a complete stop on the start/finish straight immediately after crossing the finish line in a race? Would be a dumb place to stop if you ask me.

Well, yeah. Can't make it round the next corner is what I mean, I guess. Can't avoid crashing.

They are not talking about stopping - they are talking about slowing down enough to make turn one !!!
I hope it's only a problem for the fast guy's (I doubt I could get enough corner speed and acceleration out of the final turn to make my brake point before the line ) but it sure as shit shows what "commitment" means !!!

Those guys were awesome
