Hard to argue against it really. If you go by wins. And he's done that in a shorter time than Joey.

If you put more emphasis on the big bikes, then Hicky over the last 3 or 4 years has been pretty dominant though, and obviously the fastest lap, which, if he'd finished yesterday, he was probably going going to beat it. But then to finish first, you first must finish.

Great to see Davy Todd win yesterday, Not seen Hickys spill at ginger hall yet, but apparently all good. 👌

Imo, it's a time trail, so Hicky is still number 1. Think MD did a 135.9 so not much in it. It's been a shit week really regarding schedule, glad i didn't go. 👍

Just noticed summat interesting in the Senior results.

8th place was on a 2009 GSXR1000.

16th and 20th both on 2007 GSXR1000s.

Blimey. They've got them going well for old beasts.

I listened to a podcast with Shaun Anderson the other month.He works for Royal Enfield but I think he worked for KTM previously.
Obviously riding for Classic Suzuki doesn't clash with the day job,I think the Classic Suzuki colours are good to look at.
