I've just looked out my bedroom window and seen blue skies.

This is the tightest I've seen it for a long time. If I were a betting man I'd go with Pascuet or Hemmo. I think the pressure will get to Sam.

Mostly because she's female, World Champion and - as you say - a hell of a rider

Jarvis is on a 2-stroke. Amos is on a 4-stroke Mont and in with a shout.

As Bigfoot's bike packed up on him, he was out today with my backup camera. As a result there are over 200 photos from four different groups between us. It's going slow but sure via dialup as McD's is closed! In the meantime we've hooked up with bikespace and Dangleebitz and are gonna head down the Milton to introduce them to HL!

Carles is trialero and is indeed a damned good rider. He's Scottish mad!

General reply to all questions: Slideshow - Yes, possible and will be implemented from tomorrow's photos. Easy to do so very little extra work. Slapshot - The first thing Bigfoot said when he fell there was "I hope you got that on camera!" Screech - Pah. Some crap ones slip through. g4321 - Re-keying the whole P-65 results is too big a job for me at the mo. The good news is VinnieD went home today and will scan them and send them so I can publish as PDF, hopefullly tomorrow. Photos - Once I'm home I'll sort them all out, name them and publish in higher resultion.

No thanks necessary - I'm having a ball

I had to delete the stitched shot from the galleries. The width was screwing up the front page.

PA - Looks like that one escaped the "crap photo filter" Manz - Can do, but you won't get a true perspective from photos. There's no TV coverage of the event, but Colin Bullock (CJB Photographic) do a video every year.

First day, second section and I'll be lucky if I get a better shot than this for the rest of the week...

The results I have don't say. Top 5: 1. Mick Andrews - 15 2. Dave Thorpe - 18 3. Carles Casas - 20 4. Juan Rovida - 30 5. Gavin Johnston - 42

This won't be looked at until I get home next week. All the entries are on my home PC.

Mick Andrews on 15 penalties. I have full results, but they're in paper format which means a re-type. Too late to start that tonight.

We use this. McD's is a BT Openzone hotspot and on the list of providers so I get free wireless access I'm not there now, BTW - on 0800 dial-up from t'hotel. I'll only use that for big photo uploads.

Wandered down to the West End Hotel tonight. The other guys were asleep, but Dennis was up and making a good profit on the moose fender bags!

If it gives me faster speeds then it'll be worth it! Spent over

Doing nowt? I've been very busy...umm......sleeping... will take a pic tomorrow. Will be down thataway for the parade. PS Wireless in McD's works a treat

They're alive and enjoying the slightly more clement weather today. Bumped into them in the Parc Ferme. They were waiting for Sandifords to unload their bikes so they could go for a practice.

It probably will be next week
