Commonwealth Games and Olympics are the main focus, although Lydia Ko was getting handsome amounts of funding. I'd like to think rugby and cricket don't apply for or get funding, but I'd probably be disappointed.

It'd be interesting to know if our MotoX world champions got support at the time?

you can find the information online, but from memory the all blacks and Black caps dont get funding, but the 7's do, due to being olympic sports, i presume both get funding for grass root sports, as MNZ get funding as well, High performance funding is different,

I had trouble concentrating and i was at the desk, fuck knows how they do that for more than one lap.
All those riders at the TT just need to stand up and take a bow because that is just awesome to watch.

I've watched that 3 times now. I do not get sick of watching talented riders (on all types of bikes) showing us mere pretenders how it's done.

Correct. It's not something I get sick of watching mate.

If they use it here to train and then compete overseas for medals/glory/success, shouldn't that include others living out of NZ who compete on the world stage too???

Only if it is used to come dead last in a winter Olympic event.

Going fast around there just makes you concentrate mate, as you are thinking that far in front of yourself you do not really get the time to drift off and not concentrate on job in hand. I am sure Bruce and others do simillar to what I used too as in talking to yourself and reminding your self of all your reference points indicationg what stage of the track is coming up etc. But obviously I have never been around there any where near that fast, been 7 since I raced there now and the bikes and track have changed heaps since then giving the riders wicked fast lap times now.

Man his Honda did sound so sweet though

Sweet, that means I'll be fast too....... I always talk to those voices in my head.....
Sometimes we argue, sometimes we decide where to go for a beer....

Shame on NZ herald, al least stuff finally mentioned Bruce's lap on their news site...

haha me too, the thing I hate about them though is never knowing which one of me is right or wrong

Bruce is unwell in the head.

Wish I was that unwell in the head.

Nup. Cause if we were we'd get hurt as we don't have the skill to go with it!

The thing that blew me about the on board lap was the places he was changing down gears and the gears he was using in places, man the bikes have got so much faster now, it is hard for me to understand the real difference to what I once knew due to the speed of bikes now alone and he fact that I have not been riding them myself for years now
