LONG live the King – but which one?
A keying-in error by the timekeepers saw thousands of fans leave Bercy on Sunday evening in the belief that James Stewart had retained his title as ‘King of Bercy’ despite a bout of stomach cramp and dizziness, which prevented him going to the line for the final race of the three-day Parisienne festival. |

GRAHAM Jarvis, riding his first trial since he won the event last year, pulled-off a sensational ninth victory in the world-famous Scott Time and Observation Trial on Saturday, staged in incessant rain and mist on the Yorkshire moors above Richmond. The Sherco rider overcame the disadvantage of 14 time marks, the legacy of having to stop and remove the carburettor in order to clean-out a piece of muck lodged in the jets, with a superb observation score of just 22 marks dropped in the 76 sections scattered around the 80-mile course. |

You can understand then that all of this has given me enough reason to consider packing in the events game. |
