Fact is, Michael is on the Island to do a job. If you haven't got the right tools for the job you might as well pack up and go home.

He's proved himself at the TT with different manufacturers, and as far as I can see, Buildbase are the only crew that know how best to work with him - give him the best package possible and let him do what he does. He has a cracking Stocker and Gary Ryan always sorts out a good 600.

The only embarrassing thing is when a 26 year old, running his own team, can go out and smoke the big teams.

I say good luck to the MD Racing team and hope they get setup sorted for what is looking like a cracking opener on Saturday.
