Now for session 6 which was an epic battle for multiple laps trying to overtake a bike that i had overtaken many times earlier on the day. This time it went on for most of the session before I got the overtake at the end of the session.

Thanks Darren

The rest of the day I was passing him as was a few seconds a lap quicker but by the 6th session fatigue was creeping in and legs, wrists, stomach and neck were starting to ache so was not as on it. Made for a great session but also highlighted that i need to be a lot more track fit if I am going to survive Portimao at the end of the year. :shock: :80: :-o
