He's sponsored by a brewery, gets to race this and his girlfriends hot. Why you so grumpy Michael..

First qualifying: Hickman, Rutter, Webb, Jessup I’ve been watching from Lisboa as it’s difficult to access or view from much of the circui but good just to be in Macau. And the sound of Rutter’s bike is certainly unbelievable.

I used to love this race but I haven't followed it properly for a few years now. If you get time, check out the 1992 races. Foggy and Whitham on Harris 500GP Yamaha's against a Japanese test rider Toshihiko Honma on a full factory YZR500.

There's some good Youtube vids around of Hizzy on a 500 ROC round there. His speed difference to people on 750 superbikes, looks like a Benny Hill fast forward at times.
There ye go..

Just got back from Hong Kong. Should have timed the holiday a bit better. I was in Hong Kong until Wednesday before the short trip to Macau. To be honest the circuit isn’t the best for spectating, you can only watch the racing from the grandstands. Lisboa is OK if you are at the left hand side, the main grandstand is good for watching what is happening in the pits. Reservoir is probably the best but you still only see one bend. That said the atmosphere is good and there are large screens opposite all of the grandstands as well as at various places away from the circuit. I was at Reservoir today and will be there again tomorrow to watch the car racing. I was hoping that Rutter would win but he was fairly beaten by Hickman. Jessop a fair way back in third followed by a very creditable performance from Danny Webb. A pity that the race was red flagged

I watched it this morning when I got in from work. Went to bed straight after. Hickman was in cruise control. Circuit looked in a very poor state since I last watched a race from there.

That F3 crash was terrifying...Glad shes (relatively) okay Apparently previous contact wrecked the suspension leading to that complete lack of slowing down. At least the marshals and photographer are ok (I think).

Check your ITV4 schedules. Spotted a show this morning and taped it.
