Midge Smart kept his cards close to his chest to pull off a fantastic double and the aggregate win as the Virgin Media Cup took the MotoGP world by storm this weekend, 23 - 24 June. Practice and qualifying proved to be a tough mixed bag as the 26-strong grid took to the 2.5-mile circuit in wet conditions for the first time this season. However, respect must be given to Pirelli as the Diablo III's worked brilliantly in the mixed conditions producing some fantastic lap times, while most riders managed to keep sticky side down.
