I'm reasonably certain that where he stepped off is where the plaque to the memory of Phil Mellor is on the wall.  If that doesn't bring a stark reality to what just happened I don't know what would.   Very lucky boy (and he knows it).

I just read something attributed to Johnny Twelvetrees about being ready for Friday.  Hopefully it was written before the Superbike race.
