If we had to do the sprint to race our motorcycles some of us old dudes would be out of business.

Cool video!

And yes, my " starting sprint" would be more of a brisk walk these days. :(

#7 on the BMW seemed to be a little too anxious to pass #1.....most folks would have waited at least a lap to get aggressive - that way you can learn where all the puddles on the track are located! :-?

Incredible watching those top-notch F1 riders flog 70-80 year old bikes. Like the old saying; it's not the bike, it's the rider.

In the UK they don't stop racing for rain, lightning and thunder may delay the race but not much will cancel the race.

As often as it rains in England they wouldn't have any racing if they waited for a sunny day.

interesting to compare the 1st lap vs. the last.
they all looked as if they were used to much wider bikes then these skinny singles. and the last lap they learned they had to tuck'm in to get somewhere.

"Do I have to have a FB account to see it?" JOG

Look carefully at the prompt that asks you to sign in, near the bottom it says something like not now, click on that and you can see it, it will even expand to full screen.
