on this 11th day of september i was perusing the practice time sheets for donington when i came across rider number 188 in the superstock 1000. given that this is 9/11, the bloke is a saudi national and his surname is BINLADIN, i thought it was somebody's idea of a sick joke - so i googled it. turns out he's a half decent racer and race winner in the emirates championship. shame about the surname though.
ade!
