Discovered this by accident today

Never seen this footage because I was at the race. Pause the shot at the start of the Riders assembled on the grid in race one, you can see an orange banner for Hodgson with the No.100 and a George Cross flag next to it in the grandstand. Actually it's more of a blob, but it brings back great memories of possibly the best WSBK championship year ever. Haga, Xuas, Hodgy, B Boz and of course Troy and Colin. Shame Nicky got torpedoed in Race 2. No omen for the future there then

It was Nicky who did the torpedoing actually.



But yeah great races those where, pity they don't race on Laguna anymore.
 
Got a still shot for you

Thanks for that shovel.



An orange 100 banner and a George Cross. Remember the bright orange GSE HM plant Ducati's of Toseland and Hodgson?



We met JT at San Francisco airport amongst others, and he was a perfect gentleman.
