The most successful in "British" rider at the Island Classic Jeremy McWilliams comes from Jeff's part of the world - Northern Island.

No fun in the sun for the Brits this year.

I'll keep you posted on the forecast for Phillip Island but expect 35C plus and the other three seasons as well.

While we are talking about successful racers, I came across this trio.

They won a few races at the Island and 8 World Championships if I recall correctly

Interesting - it's 20 years since I was last at the Island - the 1999 500 GP - Mick Doohan did a parade lap coz his leg was farked.
Taddy Okada won IIRC.
