Neil Hodgson clinches the championship in the first race. A great battle with Xaus over the last 5 or 6 laps chopping & changing throughout.

Congratulations to Neil.

Foggy Petronas get a good finish in 6th place.

Congratulations Neil Hodgson World Superbike Champion 2003 !!
Rubins Xaus made my heart skip a few beats thats for sure. As for Frankie what more can you say...Mega.Yesterdays superpole was outstanding, looking foreward to race 2.
cheers,
Stella

Yes its great news for Hodgson, what a great week for him and his family. Perhaps a win in the second race will round things of nicely !
aND A GOOD 6TH place for Team Foggy ! Go on TROY !

Oh, Stella, its Frankie who makes my heart skip a beat!!
I was overcome at Neil's win. The family must be so emotional this week. Congratulations to Kathryn, Neil,Mr&Mrs Hodgson Snr, and to Kathryn's family on the birth of lovely Holly Jean, and to Neil on a fantastic win...I wish I could "ride like a novice"!
Honourable mention to Chris Walker, who never lets things get the better of him. Commisserations to JR, and good luck for race 2.

I think even the guys admire Frankie...what aman.

Anyway, well done Neil.
He turned out to be a better rider than I thought a while back. He DOES have the will to win and he IS stylish.
Cant wait to see him in MotoGp!!

By the way, Island residents. Is it true that he delayed delivery of his shiney new Porsche 'cos he thought it might be bad luck?
Or was that just a good papare story?!

Many congrats Neil.

Mike

Do you really think Hodgson will make it in MotoGp?
I think if he is very lucky! A top 10 at best!
