I had a proper good catch up with Dave at the NEC on Saturday and he is very fired up for TT2015 with new passenger Ben Binns.
He was saying how slow his bike was in a straight line last year (clear for all to see really) and still managed 115.5mph laps. But for 2015 he has some very quick engines which he is already breaking lap records on that previously he could not get near.
I asked him if he was leading the race in 2015 would he try to win at the slowest speed possible or was he after the lap record. His answer was 'for me it would just be another win, I am going for the record too'
So given that everything is even, bikes all run well, weather is good ect....I think Nick's 116.667mph lap record will go. (WSN03 and Mountain Man please take note that I predicted this is December 2014!!)
I still think he is going to be pushed hard but the likes of John Holden, Ben Birchall, Conrad Harrison and if the Triumphs go well, Sean Hegarty too.
