“I’m happy with my own performance. I changed bikes for this weekend and it went well.

“Maybe it was a little bit to strong for around here but, no excuses it worked well and we will just tone it down for the next meeting here.

“It’s disappointing that we are missing a couple of riders as we really thought we could have beaten Stoke today.
