Was an exciting race and definitely go hectic on the last lap, great to see the field size in this and the developement class looking so healthy definitley the best racing of the day. That young fella Jock Woodley who won the developement class could develope into something espicially if he got some leathers from this millenium.

Impressive race especially considering he was under pressure the whole time and didn't make any mistakes.

Missed the race but heard about it... Congrats Sam! Thats a bloody good start for the title

Well done Sam, sounds like your skills continue to improve.
Go Hard, from Mr Coleman, your ex-teacher at KC!

[RideLife]

Well done Sam!

And Well done Andrew Croft. 4th after being off a bike for so long, and only recently jumping on a Prolite.

Good Stuff Boys.
Even your Mother must be Happy!

(I remember the days when I used to be faster than the Croft Family. )

[Billy]

Yip,Two more wins today and the GP title,Rode 3 very heady races this weekend and if he can do the same at Timaru next weekend He'll be very hard to beat from there on.

Yes, Well done Sam.
Good to see you are doing well on new tracks to you too.

[Matchless-G80]

Go Sam I knew you could do it.

I think the current champion must now be under pressure with this challenge from Sam. To my knowledge he has come off four times racing against Sam at manfield and again at ruapuna in two meetings only, reflecting Sams ability and his own frustration. Andy hasn't raced for 2 years was able to come back picking up 4th and 5th placings with another 4th in the bag before the spill on the last lap at Ruapuna which also shows great skill. Neither boys have raced in the south but are fast learners, both are actually mainlanders. Looking forward to Timaru and seeing the brothers do v well again.

Stop talking to yourself Sam,Haha,

Yes I was very impressed with the way Sam handled the pressure and stuck to his game plan,Likewise with Andy,Had a brief conversation with Andy just before the GP yesterday regarding the illegal modifications the Hyosung riders were allowed to run with,Unfortunately as I wasn't there,I couldnt do much to help them,I did advise him to just finish the race and then lodge an official protest,Not sure whether he did or not.

Very disappointing to see the complete arrogance of the Hyosung competitors,Knowing well before they left Auckland that their machines were illegal and then arguing the point with the officials and pretending they didnt know and even more disgusting when their so called junior mentor waded into the argument and tried to condone what amounts to little more than blatant cheating.

Well done the Crofts.....
