Description

Saturday, the day we all dreaded. The weather forecast was bad from day one of the event with the prospect of it clearing up for Sunday's race. The rain came and with it a very fine mist which is perhaps worse than full rain as it's misleading and can cause havoc with our expensive camera equipment.

Qualifying for the main classes was the important events of the day with some support classes thrown in as well from the Henderson R1 Cup and GSX-R Cup guys, though they had a horrid time with the conditions and just cruised along. In the MotoGP class, our home-boy James Toseland had an awful day with him crashing three times, twice during qualifying, putting him 16th on the grid. I think too much pressure was put on him and perhaps his rep should have pre-empted this and kept a reign on things.
