Check out the Irish lads !!  
                                                                                                                                                                             

woohoo  can't wait for the season to start...only 4 more weeks to go  Am really excited to see how Laverty does. (& everyone else of course!  )                                                                                                                                                                             

Eugene will be a serious contender this year.  He knows the tracks, is getting on well with the new bike, has the right attitude to his racing and isn't afraid to get stuck in when things get a little boisterous.
