Silverstone, our very own home round, in perfect summer sunshine (for a change). Checa, yet again showed his class and won both races, but importantly , at least for race fans, did you see how genuinely ecstatic he was after each race. He is now also known as Mr Milestone having taken Ducati's 300th race win in the first race, some years after taking Honda's 100th.
If it wasn't for bad luck I don't think Leon Camier would have any luck at all. A bad start led to a fantastic progression through the field with the possibility of challenging for second place, if not for the race win, only to be let down by dodgy Italian electronics with the failure of a sensor. Race 2 was different though, he had a better start but was beaten by a rejuvenated Biaggi, who was amazingly disappointing in the first race. Eugene did really well with two seconds, but, yet again, Checa was unstoppable.
At least we had a Brit winner - despite our Governments best efforts Wales is still part of Great Britain - with Chaz Davies winning the Supersport race. Gino Rea was riding like it was podium or bust, and bust he was he got, crashing on the last corner of the last lap trying to get past the ferret.
So, what's this done to our fantasy league? Bel's pulling away from Noddy, and Noddy's pulling away from Paul, whose pulling away from everyone else.
Next weekend is BSB from Brands Hatch, and it's a triple header, with a BSB race on Saturday as well. Anyone going? I am..... see you there.
