Conti-nual Greatnes
Sports-touring, or the art of going somewhere very far away at a fairly rapid pace, is becoming increasingly popular. So popular in fact that most major tyre manufacturers are investing mega bucks into the development of suitably spectacular rubber; offering high mileage and high grip virtues. That's the nature of Continental's new ContiRoadAttack 3s, which I got chance to nail around some of Mallorca's finest roads.

Summer break as a kid was the best thing ever.Summer break from racing sucks though, because I love riding my bike and the thought of not getting to race for all that time makes me very sad indeed. This year however, it’s helped me out just a little as I head into the BSB holidays injured…

How are we diddling, campers? I hope you all had a great Crimbo and New Years. I did, but it’s time to get a little more serious now, because it’ll soon be time to go racing again. But before I touch on what’s on the agenda, I think it’s only right to natter about the year that’s gone before. 2017 was okay, I guess.
