Agreed rocket, they need to take a serious look at it and see why the lads aren't getting on with it. They have the BSB electronics now in the bike so that should be ready to go but clearly not!

Honda aren't having a good time, are they?

Martin looked to be very angry. It'll be interesting to see if it was the rider or the gearbox at the root of the crash.

If they pull it they look bad. If they can get guy martin to ride it. Which I'm not sure they will.

Didn't realise this. This should be at the top end of the leader board with all the tech it's got.

He looked angry and shook mate. He was saying before the race how he wasn't going to come back and focus more on his pedal bike races so this may be the final nail in the coffin now

There's one Honda in the top 10 but it is still early in the season.

Got some good racing in today. Went back to the creg. But sat the opposite side so watched them down the hill. They got even closer on this side I could have high fived all the riders.

If you're still poorly we'll get you one of those mobility scooters with a basket on the front and stick a busa engine in it.
