Seriously Dec, congrats on a fine result in Mondello! It looked well tough and I hope you earned that elusive point for upgrade as you deserve it man...

Must have been all that crossed up sliding around those hairpins as a young fella that gave you the edge!

No better race for the petrol head to get a result! Well done Declan :)

Good man Declan you're a legend - that dodgy knee you were telling me about during the warm up did you a power of good - maybe you've a lil' ol' Cancellara-style engine hidden in there ;)

I reckon it was knowledge of the braking points and the best lines to take through the corners that did it...

Jayzuz! Steady now... I had to wait until fast lads like Martin Ridge shagged off out of A4 before I could start having fun! Great craic racing bikes in Mondello. Last time I raced there I blew a motor and it cost me a fortune. This time I left with more money than I brought! I hope there are more races there next year. It's fast and safe. No oncoming traffic, no potholes and no mountains for skinny young lads to scamper away on. What's not to love?

what about this one Declan :)
