Just viewed the NW200 coverage on BBC NI. Bloody marvellous racing.
Guy Martin had a moment:
Is it me or is he getting a reputation as being a prima donna? Classic Racer made a barbed comment about his no-show at a recent charity event by pointing out that Ian Hutchinson got there from hospital and John McGuinnes flew in from Sepang. The TV coverage also didn't make much of his crash and subsequent absences from the weekend's races. Mind you he was riding well at Cookstown, despite it being 8 months since he last raced. Perhaps that's the problem, he isn't around for a lot of the racing calendar and when he turns up he gets the star treatment.
Anyway, it was all great racing, despite a very dodgy overtake by Alistair Seeley to take the win in one race. What a difference to last year's wash out.
