When you see a bike and rider whizzing round a circuit this is the accumulation of hours of preparation and some brain-draining analysis on a million-and-one factors.
In order to race we have to strip and rebuild the bikes making sure we set them up for the circuit that they will be competing at next. Then we need to test that everything is 100% ready for the race, now this can take in excess of 50hrs per bike (depending on what is required).
Next up is the fractious monitoring of the weather, now this is a personal ‘nightmare’ for me and it becomes somewhat of an obsession on the lead-up to the race meeting. We have some sophisticated ‘feeds’ that give us Doppler short and long term radar information coupled with some very accurate wind forecasts to hopefully give us a clear picture of the impeding conditions.
So why mention all of this?
