Matt Jackson - "I'm knackered, I am home safe and sound and that's good, I got past Dave at the Iron Gate and I thought it's going well today".

Palmer changed his brake pads just prior to the start, and suffered front end vibration throughout the race. After pulling the bike out of the bales at Cross 4 Ways, he got it fired up again and set off but knew he would have to brake earlier and earlier for the corners, on the last lap he lost a lot of ground because the bike was "sick as a dog" and lucky to get over the line for 3rd spot.

John McGuinness is here today as a spectator and says he is really enjoying it, maybe even give it a go next year with a 600.
