Tom, uh a lively, uh competitive, high octane, what words should we use for that uh race to poll? Uh it was great to watch.

SPEAKER_01 0:10

Needed to listen to a podcast after that to chill out, really, didn't you? And have some humour. Have you listened? Have you listened to the podcast?

SPEAKER_00 0:15

Oh, you have got one.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

Have you listened to the podcast yet?

SPEAKER_00 0:17

I'm stacking them up because I've not listened to you.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

I want to binge listen. Well, after you've listened to this, you can go and watch and listen to the Anything But Racing podcast available on Apple Music and Spotify and YouTube and everywhere else you get your spot if you podcast.

SPEAKER_00 0:29

What I shall do this evening.

SPEAKER_01 0:30

Brilliant. Okay, that's good to hear. So, how about that race to poll? The race. Um it was good. It was pretty good, actually. We've got a really good start, good launch, made up a couple of places. Um, and then Ash and I were sort of shadowing each other throughout the throughout the race. I think we're fairly equally matched in terms of pace. I don't think it was much between us. He'd have a little strength there, I'd have a little bit of strength there, and uh I think they actually sort of balanced each other out. Uh which is good in a way that you know for the first time for a while I've sort of felt like we've you know we've we've had we've been racy against against Ash. So the last kind of little while he just felt like they've they've you know he's they've always had a little bit over it. So I felt like we've we've sort of pulled a bit back there, which is really encouraging. So strong, um, nice place to be. Carf was good, a bit of damage from a bit of contact with Ash. Um, yeah, see what goes on for tomorrow, really, when it matters.

SPEAKER_00 1:15

And and good to see us in terms of setting an example for racing. You you had that incident with Ash and then let him pass.

SPEAKER_01 1:20

Yeah, look, uh we'd told to tell the blue in the face to to you know, that's the way we should be racing. So um I knew that it was it was uh you know, Ash Ash checked up mega early, I think, to try and push me back into the traffic. Um and uh in in doing so brake far too early. I ran into the back of him, pushed him in deep, um, and then obviously I've got to try and return return the position wherever I can, really, as quickly as I can, um, without trying to cross myself and Ash too many places in the in the in the process as well.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

The unpredictable bit of course is the weather. We had uh rain this morning, tracks now dried out, but we're not sure what's gonna happen tomorrow, and that's gonna be a contributing factor to some tune here, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 1:58

Yeah, I mean mine seems to say you know the the forecast that we've got seems to say that it's looking looking like it's gonna be fairly good tomorrow. So um we shall see. But it can all change very quickly as we all know. Really good session. I'm off to listen to the podcast. Brilliant, thanks so much. You really should, it's great.
