Jonathan Rea MotoGP Motorland Aaragon Qualifying

Local boy done good!

Qualified 7th today in front of both factory Ducati riders & former MotoGP Champions Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden

I can't remember the last time I watched a live qualifying session as I lost interest in GP in the second year of the 800's. Today's action and the local interest made it special.

Everything crossed that Jonathan gets a strong result tomorrow

ISDE Day 2

French Domination in Germany!
Pierre-Alexandre Renet ( Factory Husaberg ) leads by 2 minutes followed by his 3 team-mates.

Meanwhile, back in the real world our Seamie remains clean on time and improves a place to 54th of 97.

After 7 or 8 hours riding all manner of terrain you then have to maintain your bike, filters, tyres, brake pads.....

You can sign up with bigger teams that will help at the fuel stops - see the British Teams clearly identifiable gerry cans.

Hump Day tomorrow

ISDE 2012

The International Six Days Enduro takes place this week in Germany.

Donegal man Seamus Muldoon is taking part after previous finishes in Finland and Portugal. Is there a tougher motorcycle sport?

All the best!
