What is a typical day like for a privateer motorcyclist?
Depending on where you finished the previous day that will determine your starting time for the following day. Let’s say I finish the day in 100th position (a good day for me), usually that would mean I start the following day 100th out of the gate, unless the next day happens to be a reverse starting order day. Those days the order is reversed and the fastest guys start in the rear making for some exciting passing throughout the day. On a typical day I’ll awake at maybe 2 or 4am (I don’t know really but I know it’s super early) and rush over to the caterer to shove as much food and powerdrink into my stomach as comfortably possible. Ideally my mechanic Paul has completed all the work on the bike from the night before. Depending on our maintenance schedule, he may have to replace both wheels, mousses and tires, air filter, change the oil and filters, load up roadbook, do any repairs that may be needed from the previous day and countless other tasks that occur during the night.
