Practice and Qualifying: |
|
The campsites are filling up, smoking bonfires adding to the mist hanging over the circuit... |
|
...while the world's motorcycle journalists take shelter in the press room. |
|
The rain continues to fall as the teams prepare their bikes for tomorrow's race. A wet race will favour the Stocksport machines - they need fewer refuelling stops than the WSB bikes and their softer power delivery is easier to manage in the wet. |
|
Ghelfi Art Racing - the Italian run team are entered for the full championship series. |
|
Effortlessly quick in practice, the factory Honda SP-1. |
|
The inevitable result when back of transit meets front of lorry on the motorway... The Gataka team limped to the circuit, and have managed to put in respectable qualifying times. |
|
Thursday's practice sessions were dry for rider one, wet for riders two and three, and drying for the reserves. We experienced gale force winds crossing the channel, then rain and snow as we travelled through France. Forecast is for gradual improvement. |
