Backstedt was at Eastway today

[Marek]

Hello All,

Just a quick one to say I met Magnus Backstedt today and had a chat with him. He was up at Eastway, and me being a big fan of his, he is the same height and weight as me, took the opportunity to have a chat.

We talked about bike sizes and what he recommends as a bike for a tall bloke like me. He said there was only one choice, but I ain't going to tell you what he said.

Anyhow, poor bloke has got his hand in a sling following his crash last week so he won't be racing tomorrow which he was a bit upset about.

Have to say he was a really down to earth friendly guy, lets hope he pops over to the hill climb tomorrow to watch.

Cheers

Marek....
