Well done Juan on winning the Ducati monster championship at Oulton Park today, in the superbikes Hizzy won the 1st leg and Steve Plater the 2nd leg.

can anyone explain the correct pronunciation of the name of the aforementioned?
Fred Clarke persists in saying "Jewan", whereas I thought it should be "Hwan"

Yes Congratulations Juan !! I stand to be corrected but i think Freds right ? I spoke to Juan at Knockhill and he pronounced it the way Fred said it ???
cheers Stella

Fred's pronuncation of Juan is correct 'Jewan'. I have tried countless times with the other commentator Gary Gardiner but he always gets it wrong. The programme didn't help at Oulton either, that said 'Number Juan Again' It is a tireless battle to get the manx pronunciation!!!
Juan was delighted to wrap up the title yesterday, his first British National Title. Let's hope further opportunities will arise from it.
Thanks to the two fellas at Oulton yesterday who stood opposite the rostrum ceremony with a huge Manx Flag shouting 'Championi'!!! Just finished the day off fantastically!
Big thanks have to go to Des Collins of Team Wilson & Collins who supported Juan in this championship.
