Knockers Hairpin

Post by IZINBARD »

John Mac Continues To Lead Scottish Championship, swiped this pic of the Digby Brown site.
I don't think I have ever seen anybody quite that far over, close to the line or looking quite so focused at that corner.

The only time I've seen someone cranked that far over and looking that focused was between Tesco's petrol station and the lights at the bottom of the hill. :eek

Have a look at some footage of Kyonari when he was in BSB. By far the best rider I've seen negotiate that corner and an incredibly tight line he used too. For once I shall be there this year and he won't :roll

If you look carefully, you'll see that 4 riders end up in the gravel.
