Hi guys, how are we all? Me, I’m just about to head off to Magny Cours so it would seem the perfect time to check in with Team FB. Now, obviously last time out on track things were pretty sweet as we nailed the double victory at Lausitzring in Germany. It was even sweeter as the pace was much faster than last season, and Jonny Rea pushed me pretty hard to keep up the quick consistent laps. Everything felt good, and while the title may now be out of reach, there’s nothing quite like doing the double.
