I'd appreciate it if someone could get a message to 250 Newcomer Joe Wood for me.

Tell him to keep the sea on his left and to keep his machine shiny side up.

Also if you could tell him that I'm trying to follow his progress as best I can from the other side of the world. (Does anyone know where the practice times are being posted?)

I've never been more envious of anything in my life.

Best Wishes Joe

Here's hoping for a safe ride for all entrants (and spectators).
