Actually, matt overshot a corner and Adam DID pass him as matt had to stand the bike up. Matt quickly re-passed.

That's the story i heard from the horses mouth.

Yah... excellent pic. Too bad adam is not in perfect focus... but then again if it was me I'd have it up on my wall regardless of the focus!

I got gerard and someone else from DART or something in a picture like that last year.. but same issue with focus so I never really showed it to anyone.

Here's how it went down:

Matt blew past me on the inside (right side) going into turn 4 (right hander) on the brakes.

He overcooked it and had to really get it slowed down.

I turned in and tucked up underneath him (as seen in picture).

Since I was already on the gas, I then got past him and flicked it left to the apex of turn 5, basically shutting the door on Matt and chopping his front wheel, which caused him to check up and stand it up. (yeah, sorry, but I had the line was in that 'zone', I'm sure he's dealt with the same situation a billion times and knows how to handle it as a professional)

He hung behind me through turns 6 and 7 (kinda a narrow one line, one bike area) and then powered past me out of 8 onto the back straight.

I spoke with him today about it, he said he'd love to autograph the pic.

Matt comes off as pissy and too busy to talk to anyone, but I hear thats just his 'race mode' mentality where he's just very focused.

I had a word with him before practices and all had even started and he seemed like a nice guy at that time but sour the rest of the time there.

I can imagine it might get annoying to be scrutinized and hounded by the public everytime you pop your head out of a motorhome.

So, what you're saying is, you didn't hear him sniffling and crying when he passed you?
