I see him as a Darkhorse and break out year for him. Hopefully!
Normally Herlings and Cairoli will wrap up the wins this weekend...
Hope he can somehow still figure this TM out and have a good season
Bit of a shame Simpson isn't coming back home to do a race.
The Shop
He has some minor injury to his elbow. Nothing big, just has to stay off the bike for a little but he will still be ready for the GP start
This will be the beginning of how things are going to unfold this year in the gps .
Positive thinking works all the time, sometimes
Track postcode is SY4 4 NA . BBC weather usually most accurate.
Update
Latest forecast says light snow shower at 12.00 to 13.00 hrs
EDIT: Just seen them say they will make a decision Sunday whether to run the hill or not. So probably wont happen.
Damn this doesn't feel like 6 years ago.

Think how much Anstie has improved since then!
It will be Herlings turn to stare at Max's butt whilst he disappears off into the sunset.
It will be just like the old school boy days.
Searle might even school them both, it's not like he hasn't before and is due a turn in his bad luck since joining the Big boys.
Staying positive
Anstie used to be the better of the 2 on the 85, but never been this close again to this point.. Would be great to see Max in the mix at the front.
We will find out this sunday, let hope it will be a good battle and a good warm up for the MXGP
so far Anstie had a good battle at 2 races with Herlings , both were mudders . Where was Anstie in other races ?
He has improved , but i'd like to think so did Herlings after his rookie season what started with an injury
Lets see what happens , who knows . Maybe its all over in turn one
lets hope we get to see a great race and nobody crashes etc
Pit Row
If it's a real mudder the racing will be between Searle and Anstie for the win , Herlings might make top five.
"Unfortunately no Hawkstone International MX for me this year.. Little bit more bike time needed before we are ready to race!"
Has one hell of a setup this year aswell.
i doubt Anstie will beat Herlings at Hawkstone ... has a chance if its muddy , but only then ...
whats your excuse if Anstie doesnt win ?? as you look so confident he will win and beat Herlings , would be the first time on a not muddy track in like 8 years or so ? :-)
i think he wants to make a statement after last weeks error
But Anstie............ he's just beginning to bring it all together with the team, bike and mentally.
I haven't got any pre emptive excuses for Anstie losing but if there's any reason after I'll let you know.
We're not talking about the past 8 years, if we were we could expect Searle to beat him on a regular basis?
And him wanting to make a statement is his biggest downfall sometimes.
In the end I just want to see good racing and a Brit winning for a change.
lets see what happens and if youre still around after the races
let the racing begin ...
lets enjoy the racing
