Timmy - bah. I liked it, it mixed things up for a change, different guys up there, no more Minaar/Peat domination. Ultimate respect for Barel to come back from injury to win, two rounds later. Shame for Gee, bet he'll be gutted as he had a massive chance to make up some serious ground on the SC boys. Not Britain's day.

I'm patriotic. I like the British boys to do good. If they don't I get pissed.

Another person who I had high hopes for, Brendog.

The only rider I like who isn't british is Blinky, because he is awesome, so kinda stoked he rode alright.

my love for Blink is right here.

Blinky didn't do well... I he came in 11th on a track that should suit him well. Bendan got a podium. I'm glad Matti is back getting results, reckon he may be a contender next year like we was in 07. As for patriotism, I love this country about as much as Ahmadinejad does.... I like riders based on irrational gut instinct, not nationality.

Damn... two crashes and twelfth? That's impressive. He's having some hard luck this year, especially the last two where he's quualified first.

Man feel terrible for Gee, there an interview with him after the race on dirt where he is nearly in tears. To add insult to injury he seems to be qualifying really well each race but keeps missing the top spots (bar Andorra, but he must have been gutted there too)

Gee Atherton crashed and he was still up at the split, thats is pretty insane.
