Lap 9 Fall Costs Alvaro Dear...

Well, not a good race :(
Although Alvaro got a bit swallowed up off the start, he soon got back into the lead in the drying - but still partially wet and greasy conditions - and was looking pretty fine until on lap 9 he fell at the first corner.
Thankfully a long slide left him in good enough shape to get back on the bike and continue the race (down in 13th).
The bike looked pretty compromised but he never gave up and came home an eventual 12th.
Still, with Mika Kallio taking what was then a pretty easy win and pocketing a fat load of points, it was a pretty grim day and leaves Bait waaaaaaaaay down on points as the season carries on.
Bah! Too down to do any more than cut and paste the results now...
