Grant is innocent!

In your report of the 2016 Phillip Island Classic you state that Grant Dalton crashed and brought some bikes down. That can’t be further from the truth. Grant got it sideways on oil from Ryan Farquhar’s FJ1200 in a so-called XR69 chassis, and ran off the track and then crashed. Not one ounce of oil came out of Grant’s Suzuki. A flag marshal gave me a plastic bag of broken FJ1200 engine parts from Ryan’s bike.

Many apologies Croz, a case of conflicting reports in the heat of the moment. – Ed
