Everybody I saw had big grins.The only fly in the ointment was the occupation of the Paddock by Jaga, which hopefully with common sense will not happen again.For myself, I have nothing but praise for Marc Mouton and all the organisers. I thought it a very enjoyable and successful meeting. Hopefully, the long course will be used again.How's this for a wish list? - Mettet using the full figure of 8 course (NO short circuit for Classics, please) -Schleiz back on the old REAL courseOne can only dream, but sometimes dreams come true.

How’s this for a wish list?

-Schleiz back on the old REAL course

I have never, ever, had so much fun with my clothes on. Don't try to fob me off with that Chimay short circuit sh*t, I've seen Jerusalem... I reckon it was the fastest, SAFEST circuit I've ever raced my standard 86 bore Manx on. I absolutely loved it. And since there is nothing like it anywhere, it could become Europe's premier event..... I will be writing to the event organisers to tell them so.
