Just saw a replay on Eurosport. Curtain also overtook Charpentier round the outside going into dingle-dell (is that the best ever name for a corner or what?), although Charpentier had just been punted of the racing line by his teammate. But, good stuff!

I actually have tickets for Assen, but don't know yet if I can make it. Do you know on what part of the track you'll be marshalling? I'll come by, say hello, bring you a cup of coffee or something (if I can make it).

Just going back to my 'Bayliss seems smoother these days' thing... MCN has an article about traction control in WSB. Here's a quote from Haga:

"I always want more power so I don't want a system that cuts power"

Nice and succinct.

(btw contrary to my perception that Bayliss is looking quite graceful, Nori says he's a nightmare to chase, a different line every lap and always appearing on the verge of stacking it, "when I am behind him I am confused most of the time")

Gerben24,

As yet we are not sure where we will be on the circuit but one thing for sure is that we will be taking our St George's flag with us to put up on our post supporting Toseland and Stalker in true british style
