WSB SPoiler

[Phil]

I used to live in Herefordshire as a lad, so when Moody/Ryder were saying he was getting time off school in Knighton to compete in 125's all those years ago I took more than the usual interest. After years of riding 2nd/3rd/4th string bikes he got a good break when he started riding for WSS ParkinGo Triumph team when Rovelli picked him up. He was doing well on that bike, but Triumph couldnt help out much, I think they withdrew what support they gave, so he the got the Yamaha's and took the world championship. The team moved up to WSB last year with a private Aprilia which was a big learning curve for all of them, but he got a victory on that bike. This year has been fantastic so far. Hopefully the team will give him the full support he deserves, they seem to be so far. Last year it was like Haslam didnt count for anything.
I'll be expecting my Mum to be sending me clippings fom the Hereford Times soon.
