Well the final qualifying is over and luck was not completely with us. We had to spend about 25 minutes of the final hours qualifying setting up the new engine map, We then completed a further 9 laps to make a full race distance on 1 set of tyres. We put in a new tyre, not a qualifier, (we have only used race tyres and full tanks so far), then there was a nasty incident involving Guy Martin who slid straight into the concrete wall breaking both arms and causing yellow flags to be displayed it restricted us badly, however the session went well and Martin has qualified at the heard or the 3rd row in 10th place. He would have been on the second row as Ian Hutchinson qualified on McGuiness’s machine which should have been disallowed but never mind. In this mornings warm up he was 9th and gaining time on each run the machine has performed faultlessly since the 1st day dramas and we think that we will do well in the race.
It is extremely hot now some 2 hours to go the rider is hopefully sleeping at the hotel the bike is ready to go and so are we
