Rutter TT Blog: "I must be one of the few glad to see the rain"

Michael Rutter, 06 June 2009 13:37

We’ve not had so much luck coming our way in the back end of this week but we certainly struck lucky with the rain today, causing the Superbike race to be postponed until Monday. If it had gone ahead as planned today I wouldn’t have been on the grid. After the engine popped a head gasket on Thursday we ordered ...

Michael Rutter blog: “I was looking forward to a good lap”

Michael Rutter, 05 June 2009 11:38

Everything was going fine last night. I’d done a 125.5mph lap and was looking forward to a really good lap but we hit a few problems – as you can and often do at the TT. We were down on speed early in the week so Dave Hagen re-mapped the engine management system for us. Wednesday night it was better ...

Michael Rutter blog: Two fifths but I should have done better

Michael Rutter, 01 June 2009 13:53

The Worx Suzuki I rode at Thruxton was brilliant. Two fifth places was okay but I just wish I could have done better. Everyone in the team was happy with the results but I should have exploited the traction control system more early in the races and pushed a little harder when the tyres were good. Once the initial grip ...

Rutter Blog: “The Worx Suzuki can be front row. But can I?”

Michael Rutter, 01 June 2009 11:03

I’ve had a great time at Thruxton today on the Wrox Suzuki. It’s different to what I’ve been used to riding but we were sixth in the first session and eight in the second and I’m confident there’s much more to come. We ran fourth for ages but stuck to the same hard-compound tyre so we could try lots of ...

Michael Rutter Blog: “Front row is just brilliant”

Michael Rutter, 31 May 2009 10:00

It’s been another amazing day. From the start of the meeting here at Thruxton I was running the settings that the team and Guintoli had been using and the bike has been bloody good. All I’ve done different is to put some weight on the back and the only other thing has been giving it a few clicks on the ...

Michael Rutter blog: It’s hectic running your own team

Michael Rutter, 29 May 2009 14:07

I can’t believe how hectic things have been today (Thursday). I was up at 6.00am and on the road. I spent all day driving around the Black Country in the Bathams van that I’ve borrowed for the Isle of Man TT. I dropped the fairings off at the painters then dashed off to pick up stickers, then back to the ...
