I went over to the Lincoln Grand Prix Sunday last and as usual it didn’t disappoint. It is a testing circuit with the notorious climb of Michaelgate being hit no less than 13 times. The crowds were huge possibly helped by the weather and the racing was all out right from the off.

I went to the start this year which proved a good stomping ground for photos and then made my way into the city to witness a great day of action.

Russ Downing showed his class and i wont go into my usual ramblings about why he should be on a bigger stage. He may well be soon by default anyway the way his  Endura team are performing this season. They are winning everything in sight.

Kristian House and Marcin Bialoblocki made up the podium with Russ. Witness the photos i have taken which, without a press pass required a bit of guile and a bit of barefaced cheek.

Any way next stop is the Nationals next month. Bet i will struggle to get a ring side seat at the podium there!
