Day 4
Date: August 21st

Welcome to the third and final installment of race reports from Mosport. I have to thank all the fans that reached out and said hello over the past four days. The response has been phenomenal. Thank you.

Also, I really need to thank Ian, Alex, Darren and the entire Deeley Team for the opportunity to race here. I’m grateful.

Carrying on from the last report I was quite excited to get on the bike this morning. The progress we had made in yesterday's race gave us an indication for some changes today and I had the opportunity to test them in morning practice. Unfortunately, a rider on the Ruthless Racing team (among the top five in points), suffered an "electrical problem" with his XR1200. The team had to make the decision to pull my bike and have him race it. Tough situation for everyone involved and I’m empathetic to their position. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in not being able to showcase the level I feel we were at, but when the greater good is at stake you just have to roll with it. And going with my “everything happens for a reason” view on life I think I know why. I was able to watch and announce the race from the control tower and was blown away with how close and exciting the racing was. It was a six rider battle for the win with massive lead changes and passes. In the end it was a great opportunity to get another perspective on racing. It was one of the best races of the day and must be meeting Harley Davidson Canada's vision for the series. They are infusing the Canadian series with a professional show and exciting racing which is good for the sport no matter the brand.

Thanks everyone for tuning in.
