i knew i'd forget something. i wonder what happened to the exactweld rider gary noel? last i heard he piled a bike up near his house in frimley, very badly injured.
i watched him at the euro championships at donno and he absolutely blitzed them. in the interview afterwards he could hardly see. he got something in his eye on the warm up lap and his eyes were red raw. i think it was the same year alex bedford won the 125 race [could be wrong], and when asked why he was late coming out, he answered "i don't really like working on motorbikes, so i left it till this morning to look at it" the fact was the clutch was hanging off and they managed to nail the bike back together at the last minute and get him out there. he walked it.
great pair of lads, great times.
ade!
