A few images from practice at Knockhill. It is a great spectator circuit if the weather is kind, which it was on the Friday but Saturday was another day, another climate. Anyway, some good close racing none the less.

Cracking shots, the first one is my favourite. I was there too this weekend, unfortunately only for the bad weather days!.

Number two is interesting, it looks like the rear suspension has loaded up and is just on the point of unloading and throwing him over the high side. Is that what happened?
All very good shots.

Nice catch in the first two. I also like the last one. My only complaint would be: Variety.

Yes, this is exactly what he did. Picked himself up, shook his head a few times and then went out on his spare bike.

My only complaint would be: Variety

Yes, I tend to agree Jamie, but Knockhill is a very small circuit, mostly bends, few straights and best positions are on outside of the track. Also, my visit was cut short by the appalling weather. Limited track time and heavy gear mean that I minimise movement.

Cheers

Paul
