Default Donnington WSBK <Motorsports>

A good friend of mine, a rider I used to wrench for is making his WSBK debut (he is an AMA SBK rider) and was wondering if someone could grab a shot of him. He is riding for Alto Evotlution (yellow honda), I don't know the number yet since he just found out yesterday but he will be in all white leathers.

He is #50. Thanks guys, if you could get a shot I know his dad would be happy since he couldn't make it over there to watch.

He found out today that Donnington is a little slick in the rain. Never have raced outside the U.S. he is on a steep curve and has a little work to do tomorrow.

He will be getting a provosional start since the conditions were so bad. I believe the waved the 107% rule.

He is having fun but is frustrated he is missing some speed. He will hard to find some more and will give it a go sunday.

Hi, yes i got a couple of pictures i'll post up, it was really wet today, but it dried out in the afternoon, i think he fell a couple of times early morning.

Just uploaded this for quickness, here's the bike to lookout for Z3rocool.

Yeah.....he was just testing to see if the laws of gravity are the same over there as they are here in the states.



I think him and Corser are fighting for the most time on the ground this weekend.

Looks like he didn't finish today, i bet it was so hard for him to come straight onto a track with very wet condtions, i hope he enjoyed his time here, and good luck to him in the future.

Here's another shot.
