Grats to Uli on a fine victory! Kudos to Clutch(?)and Axel for snagging podium slots. Well done, gys.
Horrible misfortune for Robert! Geeezzz... When I scoped the replay and saw that he went back-track, I understood the DSQ. About the most you can get away with doing that is 60-70 metres before GPL says, 'Gotcha!'
As expected, my Honda was a bit of a stone here in Belgium. Much as at Monza. Gobs of power but too much frontal area. I made no effort to slipstream once the race started deciding instead to lay back in the early laps and give myself some breathing space in case of trouble up ahead. And there was, too!
The only bit of drama I had was clipping Evil's stationary BRM in Malmedy and going for a 1080° spinnerama. Quite thrilling that. Before I'd finished that last revolution, I already had 1st gear selected.
I noted several runners that finished to score after offs that I would have thought normally would have ended their day. Jethro and Natan each serious incidents but were able to continue with little effect. Gareth suffered serious damage but was able to finish. If things had broken my way, I might have placed P5.
