watched this last night, was pretty amazing to watch him carve past the 'slower' riders (and I use that term very loosely), they uploaded the whole of Race 2 on board with Ellison this morning, not as much action in that but still pretty awesome

That was a hell of a ride.. Enjoyed watching that

I didnt really need much help, but that makes me realise how fast they are and how slow I am in comparison.

Look how early he is on the throttle compared with the riders he overtakes

My stomach was in a knot watching some of the lines, entry speeds and overtakes in that, one of the best bits of track film I've seen. Never really had much time for "piano piano" Kiyonari, but that was stupendous riding.

Only thing is if he can ride like that when he's riled, his team manager is going to want it every race.....

I think he might do with a new bike and team this year. I think he may be a dark horse for the title, if they can get the bike sorted soon enough, and he can learn how to get it off the line. LOL
