My best lap time (around 2.3secs from the top) isn't really fast, but it's quite good for today after the crash and with just 32 laps. Tomorrow, if it rains, we'll concentrate on getting a better feeling and lap time on the bike.

I couldn't help thinking during the past two Tests that it's been very rare that we've been well and truly outplayed for the majority of two matches in a row and found ourselves under pressure for long periods, basically suffering what other teams normally suffer against us.

For me, personally, I love to see the teams going to places we never get to see in mainstream media. . . .

And it's great to see teams that are used to going down to the 7-Eleven suddenly having to cope with living life in a completely different way.
