Great day and a great way to end the season, and congratulations to Ken Lalonde - the #1 plate holder next season.

Im on Pirelli's now, Marbod was prob look how good my tire wear is!! Thanks to Vancouver BMW Ducati for the bike and ohlins suspension and Spero for helping me set it up....
Looks like MR12 + RPM Superbike build + 4 year old clutch pack = toasted clutch. Started slipping on lap 2 coming out of T1, thought I could nurse it home. Wasn't meant to be. Especially helpful was Marbod pointing out I don't think I finished a single race this year.
Well, that explains the totally dejected photo...get'er all fixed up for next year. I look forward to it!
