It was a brilliant day for me and I really liked the track.

The track was quite big and had normal grip level for me and it did get rough towards the end but it seemed not to bother me much.

In the first leg I came 2nd.  I really needed to gate really well to try to get more of an advantage to get in the front and possibly stay in front - but I didn't.

In the second leg I came 1st with a good start and it was the same in the third leg.

I came 2nd overall to get in the final and in the final I was hoping that I would get a really good start so I could try to win but I didn't get a very good start and when I got to the first corner I was almost in 4th-5th place and the person I wanted to beat was in front.  But luckily I managed to get into 2nd place as I exited the corner.  I half knew that I wouldn't get out the start that well because I went to the start too quickly and it was a bit too late to try to look for a better gate because the others were already there to look for their gates on the line.  But at least I came 2nd overall.

The other thing I was very pleased with was that I clocked a time on the track of 1.20.50 on the 350cc and the fastest 500cc only managed 1.21.24 which meant that I was the second fastest on the track only losing 0.00.10 time to the guy I wanted to beat in the same class.

I was also hoping for rain to put the leader at a disadvantage but it didn't happen.  He did have trouble in leg 3 when the rain came down and then the rain stopped and the track dried up a bit for the final but I believe that I was very slowly getting closer after my poor start.
