MOTO GP Weekend, Silverstone

Thanks to all you competitors’ for putting on such a good show at the Stowe Circuit at Silverstone. What a marvellous opportunity it has been to show our discipline of bike racing. We did try to measure the decibel readings on the G.P. bikes, but unfortunately it broke the meter! Perhaps we made a mistake in doing it while the Typhoon was overhead doing his display (What a BUZZ that Pilot must have).

Obviously our thoughts are with Ben Robb, who is in the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after his horrendous ‘off’ while lying well up front in the Elite race. The latest feedback is that Ben has a cracked vertebrae, together with a fair amount of internal bruising. He’s in a bed next to Hiroshi Ayoma of G.P. fame, who asked for Robb’s autograph as they were both waiting to see the same surgeon with very similar injuries – no doubt they are swapping notes on how to land after a high side.

Thanks again to all you lads, on and off the track, for making the “Masters” a success. See you again soon.

Yours in sport

Toby
