Sheene blasts Walker's team in run up to British GP

WE spoke to Barry Sheene before this weekend’s Donington Park British GP, and amongst his as-usual colourful comments he made no secret of his disappointment that Chris Walker’s team hasn’t tested more extensively to give the Briton a better chance of getting to grips with his Honda NSR500.

Two-time world champion Sheene also spoke about the Rossi/Biaggi rivalry and his desire to see Jeremy McWilliams win some more races, but it was his typically outspoken views on Walker’s team which has sent tongues wagging in the Donington pit-lane.

We’ll be carrying the full story, including Walker’s team’s reaction, in next Wednesday’s MCN. If you click to the Grand Prix section in Racing, you’ll also be able to hear interviews with Max Biaggi, Jeremy McWilliams, and Leon Haslam.
