Fantasy Riders Update

So, we are coming up to the half way mark thorough the 2012 season. There's been six World Superbike, five MotoGP and four British Superbike rounds and the current Championship leaders are Max Biaggi, Jorge Lorenzo and Josh Brookes but who will it be in a month's time? or at the end of the season?

This weekend is the British MotoGP at Silverstone, anyone going? Will it rain? Phil and I are thinking about it, weather depending! Will Cal Crutchlow shine in his home round?

Here's the current Jagger Racing league table. Maybe it's time some of you reviewed your teams, I'm not normally in the Top Three!!



Regards,

Lou

Donington Park - THIS WEEKEND!!

Hello All

We've been busy preparing for this weekend's “home round” at Donington Park in Leicestershire on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May 2012.

After the disappointment at Cadwell, the bike was repaired, although to be honest, not too much damage.

I had a track day last week as a shakedown prior to this weekend's meeting, considering it is my local track I've not ridden there since 2008.

The track day itself was quite tricky with very cold temperatures and a damp track. The first two sessions were on intermediate tyres, it was then dry enough to change to a dry set up, only for the weather to change completely and it poured down, meaning another tyre change!

After lunch, the sun came out and the track had dried, I ventured out onto a dry track. However, despite the repeated advice of my pit crew, I hadn't drained the belly pan of the water from the wet session, convinced that it would be OK and evaporate ....it didn't!! As I tipped into Coppice the remaining water tipped onto the track with me gracefully slipping to the side. Luckily it was only an 'out' lap and I wasn't traveling too fast. As the red flags came out to stop the session, rather embarrassed, I rode the bike back to the pits.

A quick inspection revealed no damage and after emptying the belly pan of gravel, I was back on track for the next session. This session went really well, but the final session of the day was missed as a hailstorm hit us and turned the track into a skating rink, just before we were due to go out.

I'm quite looking forward to this weekend's meeting. Fingers crossed the weather stays sunny and dry as predicted, if you fancy a day trip out, hope to see you there. We'll be in one of the garages.

Cheers

Jagger

Cadwell Park - Race Report

Hi Folks

So this weekend's start to the season didn't quite go to plan. Jagger started 15th on the grid for race one and finished, after 8 laps, in 6th. He'd have been happy with this all weekend!!

The second race was red flagged on the 2nd lap, Jagger was in 3rd, and re-started after being held on the grid for well over 10 minutes. The restart saw Phil take a tumble at the Gooseneck from 4th place, his "cold" rear tyre spun round on him, a full 360 or more, didn't spit him off, but attached him to his bike by a handlebar down his boot (new boots!)...it then dragged him along the track until he managed to free himself. Minor damage to bike but a very very bruised rider.

Bike repaired and scruitineered for Sunday but the weather was awful. First race Phil had chosen wrong tyres and came in from sighting lap, the second race was halted as hail storm started. Phil didn't go out for anymore races, as aches and pains kicked in from cold weather.

Phil's disappointed with the weekend, but he'll live. Roll on Donington Park - May 26/27th.

See you there?

Lou & Jagger
