    Yo man, did you realise that Stroudy ALWAYS practices on his race tyres from the previous meeting. Wonder why that is .

    Yea thats right we fit a new set for qualifying. The point is tho that practicing on worn out tyres IS a good idea because the tyres are only new for a couple of laps then they start to wear so knowing how to ride on worn ones is more important than knowing how to ride on new ones. Do it for your setup as well. that way your bike will be stronger at the end of the race.

    You uys are doing a fantastic job in your first year. Keep focused and making changes to your setup and you will be going faster than ever. Ride hard man.
